Blogger's Quilt Fest 2013 Part II of the Duo


(scraps sewn together then cut to make flying geese)
Part II of my scrappy adventures started with the chain stitched like crazy flying geese.
Before I trimmed off the corners of said geese I turned that chain of flying fowl around and stitched 1/2" on the other side of the seams to make half square triangles (HSTs)!!!:)
Each goose gave me two HST now I had 100 5.5" HSTs!:)
Hence my second entrance in the Blogger's Quilt Fest Scrappy Quilt category!:)
 Scrappy  Rainbow Geese on the right and Scrappy Paths on the left!
 I had such fun playing with all the squares making different designs. In the end this pattern was the winner.  I did some hand quilting on the Fusion Ombre straw background fabric.
 Backing is a Dutch Wax Print from Africa courtesy of my sister-in-law. This quilt now belongs to my pal Sally's lovely daughter who graduated from college this year!:)
Hopefully you will all join me over at the Fest taking in all the other talents of our worldwide online community of quilters!
Thanks for visiting!
