Meeting a
​Challenge Part II

I have been working hard on my Keepsake Quilting Challenge!  As I discussed last week the challenge is to create a 30" x 30" quilt that incorporates Flying Geese and uses fabrics from the Challenge Medley. I have now completed all except five of the needed flying geese for my design. I have not decided on the fabrics I will use for these last Flying Geese. I am waiting to see how the rest of it looks. In the photo, I have shown all of the other types of  Flying Geese that I am incorporating.

Starting with the gray/black Flying Goose in the upper left-hand corner and traveling in a clockwise direction, I have made 8 gray/black geese, 20 green/black geese, 4 cream/lilac geese, 2 cream/purple flower geese, 8 purple flower/black geese, and 4 lilac/black geese. Next I need to sew them into quilt. As you may have guessed, I am incorporating the black fabric for the background.

​I am enjoying this design challenge. Somehow having constraints on a design helps me to make design decisions. Too many variables seems to slow down the design process for me. Tune in next week for more hints on where this design is going. Until then, Happy Quilting!
