I love how they look in quilts. I like the unique looks they create, depending on the direction they face, how they relate to each other. But making them wears me out. Of course making them gradually, a few at a time makes the most sense. They'll be a lovely finish. <br />Stay safe, my quilting friend - stay safe.

I do like the idea of sorting them into piles before they are all sewn together to get a good distribution of the colours. Guess that means that they all have to be sewn together first...:).Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05578906262073646500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116074259919602763.post-58493061377541083072012-10-27T12:54:21.461-04:002012-10-27T12:54:21.461-04:00Those flying geese are beautiful! Love the fabric ...Those flying geese are beautiful! Love the fabric and colors--I enlarged the photo and I recognize a lot of those prints from my stash!<br />Your hand quilting is very nice. Do you not put your piece in any hoop or frame when you quilt? That is the only way I can keep the back from having problems. When my youngest son played high school basketball I would sometimes see other mothers with quilts in their laps, quilting them with no frame of hoop. I tried it with a few small things and always ran into problems, but I guess it is just me. I need more than two hands to do the job. : )Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.com
