For this month's tone on tone blocks I choose some reds, and teal blues. I realized that I didn't have any red blocks so far, so that was a must. And I just love how bold they are ;) For the small version of the block I used Bella Dark Teal and Bright Turquoise. And for the large version of the block I used Bella Country Red and Cayenne. I am just loving playing with the rainbow of colors for these blocks!!
The tutorial for these blocks have you use the Quilt in a Day Flying Geese Ruler, but I just used my favorite No Waste Flying Geese method. Mainly because, it's what I know, and I have to say, I really love the No Waste part of it ;) And before you know it, I had a whole flock of geese ready to be turned into blocks, so fun!!!
And I just love how they all come together!!! Isn't it just so fun to see flying geese all in a row :) They just looks so nice and clean!! These are 3" x 6" finished geese so just 2 sets of no-waste geese to whip them up, so fast :) And again, don't you juts love those rich reds!! They just emphasis the wonderful crisp layout.
And that is the Flying Geese block, the fourth set of blocks in the Bella Skill Builder!!!! Be sure to download the free pattern and watch youtube video. And also pop on over to the Fat Quarter Shop's blog, Jolly Jabber for lots more Flying Geese details and wonderful Flying Geese Block eye candy from lots more blogger friends ;) It's not to late to come work on your skills and join in the Bella Skill Builder fun!!! I can't wait to see what block we are making next month ;)
Have a Happy Quilting Day!!!

ReplyDeletelike you this is my favourite way of making flying geese and I do the 8 method for HSTs
ReplyDeleteSo great. I'm following along with Maureen Cracknell's and Sharon Holland's Sew Along and your smaller block, with 18 geese, was one of the blocks. So great!
