Is there enough of the pink and brown strips to make a third block and make a table or bed runner with the three matching or coordinating blocks? The other two could be pillow tops? The geese look like they would work in a separate project.

That being said, the granny square blocks put in the middle with flying geese around it might be kind of interesting :) What a fun challenge!

In my guild we have an unloved fabric swap where we trade fabrics we no longer want in our stash but we have not tried a orphan block swap, what a great idea.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15612686505076697159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-72081633592184330652015-08-26T11:29:27.098-04:002015-08-26T11:29:27.098-04:00Thanks for sharing my event!

I love the applique block and making it into a table runner would be perfect.Stitchin At Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471519132184672810noreply@blogger.com
