Here, I'm channeling my "Bonnie K. Hunter"... the flying geese weren't too bad... they were largish... 3 1/2" x 6" and there were only 32... I didn't count as I was cutting pieces so I ended up with four more geese plus a few extra pieces of the two colors. Better too many than not enough. Oh, and as you might be able to see in the pic, I stitched two seams in each piece so that once the triangle was cut off, it would already be a half square triangle block. I'm thinking that I might take the left over charm squares and make some more chicks to go onto the background of the half square triangle blocks - should be enough for at least one, if not two, doll quilts.
There was a problem when it came time to sew the middle borders on. In the above pic, you can see one of the sides - we'll call this the offending side, because that's what it ended up being.... Here, the border is facing the right way.. somehow between the wall and my sewing machine, it got switched...
and I didn't notice until all four sides were on... arghhhhh. Thank goodness it didn't take too long to take it back apart just along the offending side, turn it - make sure the green points were facing the correct way and then sew it back on.
One more border to go... this time another solid one of green. Then, it can go on the Waiting To Be Quilted pile.
Hubby has another dr. appt tomorrow so probably not much will get done in the morning, but maybe I can get this one finished in the afternoon.
It's a little early for bedtime, but I'm exhausted.
take care... ttyl
