Sew Sunshine

This week is another  Project Quilting season 14 challenge  14.3 based off a block called 54 -40 or Fight. I see it has a few other names one including 54-40 Flight or Fight. Still that is only a part of my inspiration.  We could use the block or be inspired by something. I really like the V blocks but wanted to add a curve to them so naturally since I am a certified instructor of the QCR (quick curve ruler by Sew kind of Wonderful) I looked there and what did I find? a pattern called Gaggle Battle quilt.  Mine is a little smaller than the pattern 47" x 47"  stash fabrics 4 variegated  Organic crosshatch quilting Reached into my backing supply stash and found this fun print that matched most of the 4 colors on the front. I really like how those leftover pieces of red and peach played together. It is hard to see in this photo.  Pictures outside were almost impossible. I almost caught a huge gaggle of geese flying by but a car was coming down the road. h...

  After all the Christmas gift sewing and doing,  I decided I needed a quick quilt project. On my UFO stash was 6 blocks I made in the 'Flying Geese' pattern. My local quilt guild was doing a block of the month demo at each meeting and I wanted to try the Geese. Well small half square triangles might not be my thing. I had a bit of trouble with stretching and bulky points. However, I pushed ahead and used up the 4 fat quarters I picked to make a baby boy quilt. I am not totally wild about the prints or colors but it does make for a cute little boy quilt now that it is all together. (pssst...don't look closely at the points that is all I can say about that!)  I did some straight line quilting in a hatch pattern to finish it off. One quilt ready for the new year charity pile. :) Well Happy New Year everyone. I hope all your sewing and quilting resolutions come to pass.
