Through June 27th, new the ezine, Fat Quarterly is hosting a designer challenge. They call it "Fat Geese" and it's based on the traditional Flying Geese block. After reading through their first issue and seeing all of the beautiful inspiration I had an idea I wanted to try. Their directions made it really easy!!
This is my version of Fat Geese:
I used strips of on Arcadia Honey Bun as my base (or goose) and then attached the white to either side. I like the scrappy yet orderly effect. Each goose measures 2.5" x 4.5". This is the smallest block I've made to date. I don't know if I have it in me to make 414 more for a lap quilt. Maybe a wall hanging or a pillow? : )

These look so good! 414 more! Eep - don't think I'd have it in me either, they wouldn't need sashing though so...maybe. ;-)
