Thanks to Katy's FPPFTT course last year, I had already had a go at this block, so knew what to expect and apart from the usual attempt to squeeze a section out of a just too-small fabric scrap, it all went together swimmingly.
So I now have all 20 blocks completed and here they are together for the first time.
Forgive the un-ironed state of a few of them, they have been stuffed in a bag for ages waiting for the final blocks to materialise :)
The instructions for the Craftsy BOM use the same fabric as the background in the blocks for the sashing, but I am not sure about that. I am leaning towards a dark navy for the sashing but can't make up my mind, all suggestions welcome!
I need to make my mind up soon if I want to take advantage of the upcoming sale in my LQS.
Although this isn't a finished quilt top or even quilt, it certainly feels like a finish to me so I am linking up to Crazy Mom Quilts
That's really beautiful...love the colors in your fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThis is really lovely! I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic! I love the colours you used. Seeing it all come together is great motivation for me to work on mine again.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think if you use the same fabric as you have in the blocks, the blocks will disappear into the background - a nice contrasting fabric either paler or darker would make them pop and navy sounds like a great choice.
I love the circle of geese block and want to try one soon...your entire quilt is just beautiful! I am stopping by from the Paper Piecing Party hop :) Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteYay, well done for finally conquering them! I vote the navy sashing.
ReplyDeleteoh gosh, that's awesome! i quite like the idea of the same colour bashing, makes the elements (geese etc) look as if they are floating, but the navy will frame them, what do i know?
ReplyDeleteLove it! I am so glad you shared it!
ReplyDeleteI would call this block a fine finish!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing. Just loving these blocks they are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing ....Marie (mlismore@optusnet.com.au
they look amazing
ReplyDeleteWell done on getting all the blocks done! I think a navy sashing would be perfect! Or at least as the binding ;)
ReplyDeleteThey look great all together. I think navy sashing would work really well to show off each of the blocks.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Circle of Geese block!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful!! I too have been working on the crafty BOM . I am doing mine in blue and white fabrics...... Trying to use my stash ! Please visit http://thegirlfriendgap.blogspot.com/2013/05/low-tech-woman-in-high-tech-world.html
ReplyDeleteSorry my computer wouldn't let me finish .... You will see some of my blocks at this post. I am trying to make it a summer finish but really need to get going for that to happen . I have the log cabins and the Greek cross done moving on to the stars today maybe :). http://thegirlfriendgap.blogspot.com/2013/05/low-tech-woman-in-high-tech-world.html

I vote for the navy as the sashing! You've done a great job with your blocks! Can't wait to see the final quilt! I love the circle geese block, one of my personal favs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!
I love this block, I must make one. The quilt is going to be gorgeous and I think the navy sashing too!
ReplyDeleteYou did it!! Yay for finishing all the blocks!
ReplyDeletecongratulations you are almost there! All the blocks are fantastic! I think a dark navy fabric for the sashing will make them pop even more.
ReplyDeleteI always feel like I've learned something new with a sampler. That is one of my favorite shades of blue. Trying to catch up on some of my blog reading I'm a bit behind.
