Tie Quilt Pattern Decided

A week ago or so I wrote a post about a new project

I was starting.

A quilt made from a dear friends' ties.

I debated over and over about the pattern to use,

perused the internet and Pinterest

and went back and forth.

Finally I decided on what I would do.

I am paper piecing Flying Geese.

(I know!! I know!!

I said I wouldn't do paper piecing again for a long, long time,

but these pieces are larger and won't be as

difficult to tear out.

Plus, with the silk fabric,

it's easier to get a more accurate block.

Remind me of this when I am cursing myself

for doing this again.)

Here are four blocks I made to make sure

I like the design.

I do!

I even like the one that isn't matchy, matchy.

There will be some of each....

color coordinated and those that aren't.

 

More pieces have been interfaced and are ready for trimming.

Now I need to make 86 copies of the paper part!

It's going to be a slow process,

but there is no deadline.

Happy Quilting!
