Design Wall Monday: Step 2, Christmas gifts, and a flimsy



My accomplishments this week: 
*  128 Flying Geese for Easy Street, Step 2.   I usually use the cut-off corner method for FG.  This time I am following Bonnie's directions as well has her pattern so I used the EZ and Companion Angle rulers for these geese.  Despite what I consider to be careful cutting and sewing, I had a dozen under-sized units and I had to trim a few others. Practice makes perfect!
*  Five potholders that will be Christmas gifts.  The block is an Ohio Star variation -- 9" finished.  It was fun to choose different Christmas fabrics for each one.  I used Insul-Brite and a piece of batting inside.

*  Blue/brown D9P blocks assembled and bordered. The flimsy is about 78 x 78.

  9. I have never seen a D9P on point before, I really like that. I use the D9P for kids comfort quilts cuz they are so easy: I may try that on point for the next one, just to vary it a bit. Thanks. By the way, great job on your Easy Street. I will be done with Step 2 today.
