Ginger came by yesterday with the newest Jen Kingwell fabric line - a fat quarter bundle of Moving On Lawn - that she picked up from Brenda's shop. We split each of the 34 fat quarters right down the middle and I've been moving on with it. Oh, heart! Stop racing ~
It fits beautifully with a Jen Kingwell's Gardenvale line from a couple of years past. And it all fits in beautifully with my flying geese on the design wall.
As time lets me, this quilt top is growing, but not in the direction I originally thought it might go. You see, I wanted to get this quilt top done quickly so decided that six vertical rows of flying geese with big wide white sashing strips in between with big white borders surrounding would just do the trick. This one needs to be at least 80" by 90" which is a little larger than I've been making, so this design layout immediately began to bore me. Imagine that!
I pulled a few mixers Thursday night, but when Ginger got here yesterday and started pulling even more, I began to see the light. This one needed to be in my usual style, not something in a picture I found on Pinterest.
