Quilt Retreat

 

 

Another March Quilt Retreat was here

and

is gone..

I can't say I got much done this year..

I had high hopes..

 

Mom brought 5 projects and got three done..

This is one of her 3..

She loves those 5 yard quilt patterns

This was the other 5 yard quilt she did..

I don't think it was her favorite..

 

Meanwhile...

The pups spent the weekend at my sisters..
I think Rosie was little bummed tho,
she kinda sulked...

 



Flying geese

I learned how to make flying geese this way:

This is the way I learned from a fellow quilter at quilt retreat..

I used 2 1/2" rectangles (light blue) and 2- 1 1/2" squares (light green).

Then you take the 2 1/2'' rec (light blue) and put the wrong sides together..

Then take the 2- 1 1/2'' square (light green) and put that right sides together a square on both sides.

You'll see a U on the side of block..  place this, U side  towards the machine.. Sew a 1/4" normal seam.

Press open. Sew as normal. This is will work with ANY sizes. I like to do 2 1/2'' x  4 1/2'' rec and 2 1/2'' squares..

Happy Sewing~
