A few posts ago I mentioned that the pattern for the Buffalo Ridge quilt had you make twice as many flying geese units as was really needed. So I had 144 geese left over from that quilt. I’m trying to deal with leftovers right away so they don’t get lost in all the sewing room clutter. I came up with this block to use the geese. I got 18 blocks from the leftover geese. That meant I needed an alternate block to make a decent size quilt.
After playing around in EQ7 for awhile I decided this block would work well so I made 17 of them.
All the blocks are made and I have a few on the design “wall”. I’m hoping the secondary pattern will look like light and dark circles. What do you think? I hope to find time this week to sew them together and find out! Be sure to check out what everyone else is working on at
