Easy Street link up #2

Its going on now at Quiltville. If you have not been there you need to go and check out how the other wonderful quilters are doing and to see what color choices they have made.

This week for our week 2 challenge was to do Flying Geese, now I have never done them and have never used the companion ruler nor the angle ruler, I have had them for months, saw them and thought of triangles.. lol
So this is going to be a slow process for me to get through all, 128 flying geese. :P



I have 30 of them done and have close to 10 that I have to rip apart and see if I can put them together right.

My color choice for this step is red, I have some reds in my stash. Enough to do this part of the mystery. But.... then again who doesn't like going to the local quilt shop. :D

 We took my Wilson Rotary machine to be fixed up. Hopefully it will be done within 2 weeks. While at the local quilt shop E-Jays, I found these 3 reds to add to my pile to use for Easy Street.


And I found this Black on White print that I just had to have to use also in Easy Street. Its cute, it will interesting to see where the owls pop up at.


So go on over to Quiltville and see what everyone is up to.

And have a wonderful sewing week.

  1. Nice job on the flying geese so far. They get easier with practise! I like the owl fabric a lot. I'm also admiring your reds. Red just may be coming up in my version of Easy Street!

  4. The red geese look great! I'd never guess you've never made geese before. I think everyone ends up with a few that don't work. I had a few problems sewing them together because corners got bunched up as they went through the machine. I cut a few more than I needed, as I knew I'd be discarding some along the way.

    Those owls are very cute.

    1. I agree, I think we all have a few that do fly a bit wonky. But I'm not going to stress over them to much, only if they don't come out at the right size. if they are odd sized like to small, into my crumbs bucket they will go.. to be used to put strings or crumb blocks together.
