Flying Goose Log Cabin Quilt


This is a picture of part of my Flying Geese Log Cabin quilt from the Block Magazine published by Missouri Star Quilt Company.  I think I will add borders, but I have not done this yet.

Since this is the last day of February (Leap Year day, the 29th) I decided I needed to make a post as I have not done so this month.  I have been busy sewing and stitching embroidery, but I have not finished a quilt.  I did add the binding on my Easter quilt, but I have the yoyos to stitch on before I consider the quilt complete.  I do have the binding sewn on so it is almost ready to hang on the wall as soon as the yoyos are attached.

I am currently working on the Salem Witches Mystery Quilt from Crabapple Hill.  It is taking me a lot of time and energy.  I have completed the tracing and the coloring of this panel and now I am stitching the embroidery.  Wow!  When I took on this project I did not realize how much time it would take to stitch the embroidery, and there is a LOT of embroidery.  I already have the pattern for the second panel, but since I have not finished the first panel yet, the second one sits in the bag waiting, and waiting, and probably waiting a lot longer.  Our local quilt shop is having a monthly meeting for this project.  One of our members has completed panel #1 and is currently working on panel #2. I need to speed up my process to keep up! 

Good news though, I have finished the embroidery on my Witches Boot pattern also from Crabapple Hill.  It now needs the patchwork done or, as a friend suggested, I could have it framed and hang it on the wall without any further sewing.  What a great idea!

Happy Stitching
