Well, flying geese spokes anyway! Week 12 of the Aves BOW. I didn't follow the careful instructions of Kathryn Kerr this week, but once I'd got the pie shapes and the flying geese spokes and the centre star I decided to ignore all the 'Y' seam possibilities and applique the central star to the rest of the roundel. I confess that it isn't perfect, but it's good enough for me to smile and move on to the next part, which is to make a flying geese border for it. Happy days!
I also started a lozenge quilt - back to my scrap bag using-it-up theme.
I got out all my left over rectangles (8" x 4")and left over squares (1 3/4"square)....
Set them up as 'covered corners'.....
Trimmed them....
Folded the corners back and ironed them.
This has left me with a pile of lozenges - but no real design layout in mind for them!
Of course, I realise now that if I'd planned it out first that it might have been a better idea and that I might get a better result! Lesson learned.
When I get some more sewing time I will play with layouts until I get something that works for me. Always fun to play!
The spoke is looking awesome, and the lozenges look fun too xx
