Quilter's Haven 2018-2019 Block of the Month Club - February 2019
Sew Simple Northern Lights Sampler
One Flocks of Geese Block
Two Bow Tie Blocks
I have since found a much easier way to make the flying geese sets. Alex Anderson and Ricky Tim from The Quilt Show demonstrate a super easy way to form the design in their tutorial for a Sawtooth Star Block (found here). I will for sure use their method next time this technique is called for. As you can see in the picture, I also sewed one set of corner triangles pointing in the wrong direction. I haven't quite decided which direction I like better. The pattern calls for the orange triangles to point toward the corners (as they are on the bottom half of the block), but I do kinda like the break in color that having them point toward the inside gives the design. I will have to decide which side to fix before I assemble, but for now I will leave it as-is.
This month definitely upped the challenge rating for sure! Flying Geese ... so many flying geese. I've never used this particular pattern, and they were a bit tricky for me.

The small blocks are called Bow Tie Blocks. They were really simple to put together. Luckily no problems there. I kind of saw them as my reward for making it through the large block this month. I had earned something fast and simple for these little blocks.
