Riley Blake scraps

 Scraps from the Flying Darts guild project (and the extras from the MQG Riley Blake Challenge) needed to be put to good use.  This weekend, I assembled the geese into a quilt top and added a few larger geese just for fun.  The background fabric mostly came from my bag of white scraps that I pieced together.  Other than the larger geese (and all the white I used to make the small geese), I did not need to cut additional white for the layout.  That makes me happy.

 The binding is from Peacock Lane and was the closest I could get to a match of the color for the yellow dots.  The 7 year old color consultant chose yellow for the binding.  Quilting simply is a functional meandering stitch.

 The back uses just a few of the larger pieces and a Dear Stella print that I had in a reasonable quantity.  This quilt will also end up at Seattle Children's in a few weeks through Katie's Comforters Guild.

     This one has been staring at me for a few weeks.  The geese have been living in a bag since May.  I am perfectly happy that most of the scraps are nearly gone and I can move beyond them.  They are no longer staring at me whispering that I should really make them into something.  I really have been feeling like I have too many projects going on and not managing to accomplish anything because I don't know which one to start working on again.
