Congrats on finishing the 150 Canadian Women blocks. I never got started, and eventually stopped collecting the patterns too, because I had to be honest with myself and acknowledge I probably would not find time. It feels like I am drowning in project possibilities. Your migrating geese are fabulous. I rather like B but any of these settings will make a stunning quilt.canuckquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804830507722535614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-80458327851210730122017-11-07T12:35:40.214-05:002017-11-07T12:35:40.214-05:00You are doing so well with the RSC17!

Looking at scraps that have been saved for years and remembering the lovelies made from the original piece is a pleasure. Your migrating geese rows are so nice. I mixed all my colors and when I went to put the rows together, I tried to alternated the direction of the geese rows. I had trouble lining up my rows and ended up unsewing a couple of rows and had them all flying the same direction. I also found the value in following the instructions to mark each block before sewing them together into rows to be absolutely the best idea!! It really helped so much. Look forward to your finish and reading about how easy things go together for you.Rochelle aka Bella Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493294172036878044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-57652821109121401242017-11-07T11:49:47.264-05:002017-11-07T11:49:47.264-05:00I like D, your little house, and the flowers.

Though they are giving me a guilt trip. The "story" ... a few yrs back an LQS did a similar pattern as a BOM where you got your pattern plus one strip of fabric per month. Turned out they didn't have it planned ahead and fought with the pattern to create the side wall blocks each month. At the end, they gave us the final two strips, and said ... make your own. Oh great! It got set aside and once in a while I remember it!<br /><br />Congratulations on completing your Canadian Women blocks! I missed the start of them and should have jumped on the band wagon later. Maybe it will come out in a book?<br /><br />Glad you are home, even though you are suffering withdrawals ......
