Breast Cancer Geese Migration Block

This block was difficult on so many different levels.

  • Remembering hearing those words spoken to you “You have breast cancer” is a phrase you will never forget.
  • Finding fabrics was not easy
  • Fussy cutting those fabrics to get the sentiment right

I spent more money on this block as I didn’t have much left over from the small quilt I made using all the breast cancer fabrics I had.

It did feel good to be back at the cutting table today though.

Ending / Starting with a bang – New Years Geese Migration

Well, crafting this fall has been at a minimum.  Work has taken up most of my time and I really haven’t had much of a drive to work on anything.

As far progressed into Winter I really had to want to do much. But it’s a new year and I am pushing myself down to that room to give some of these unfinished project some attention.

So – being that is the goal, I started this year off with a bang and did a Flying Geese block for one of my more complex quilt tops – Gravity.  So, this just happened – I didnt think I made that more than 2 years ago – I was wrong, I made that in August 2016 – 5+ years ago. Oh by, now I know I really have to get working on these things.

So I have been thinking about this one for a long time, how to pay tribute to the Gravity quilt with a Geese Migration block.  I pulled out the box with all the left over pieces and started laying them out, and laying them out and laying them out. Moving, changing – had to walk away quite a few times.

Then, I get it all together and look at it – it’s backwards!!! The geese were on the wrong side – so me and “Jack” spent some time together today too.  A little bit of everything was going on in that room today.

It’s flashy, lots of angels, but all in all I love how it turned out.

So here it is – the first of 2022, the last of 2021 all rolled up into 1 Geese Migration block.

Fall Orange – Geese Migration

Well, I snuck in one more tonight – Fall/Orange. Where orange isn’t one of my favorite colors, the fall palette are my favorite colors.

This was a simple block, but I still stress over color matching way too much, way way too much.

Well with this block done, that makes 19 completed 15 1/2″ Geese Migration blocks.

I have 2 piles of scraps set aside for 2 more, but I feel this is coming to the point of starting to assemble the whole top soon.

That’s gonna be a big job and lots of floor space needed to do this next step.

Red n White XO Geese Migration

This one took me a lot of time, a lot of little pieces with even smaller pieces attached.  20 – 2″ squares with 1″ triangles added.

But it looks really really cool.

One more red one to go, hopefully this weekend I will get the last Red & White one done so that I can move on to another color!!!

This block represents a quilt top from 2015 and another one of my favorites –Start to the end of the journey – The ending to the journey
