Design Wall Monday

Another Design Wall and I'm really happy with what I've gotten done over the week.

First up, Easy Street.  I finished my four patches.

 I've started my flying geese. Unfortunately Easy Street is really my leaders/enders project so it took me the whole week to finish the 4 patches. I'm hoping I can get the flying geese done this week so I don't get too far behind. I need to "refine" my geese units as they aren't coming out the right size.  So, I viewed Bonnie's video and will make a few adjustments.  I'll probably make 20 extra so that I can get enough of the exact right size. 

Another project I'm doing a little at a time is this pinwheel. Last night I realized I could arrange the blocks I streak of lightening design. Hum, can't decide if I like it. What do you think?  Should I spread around the colors?  I have several more blocks in the works so I may actually get two quilts from these blocks. BTW, I took these pictures at night so the colors are off. 

I'm still making units for Scrap Squad #6. I'm really hoping I get all the units done early this week so I can start putting it together.

And the Goals report:
Work on SS#6
Keep up with Easy Street
Work on Natalie's Christmas present
Sing Lessons and Carols on Sunday√ wow, it was lovely. 
Finish Fcq Equilter blocks and get in the mail Did more but have a few more to finish
Clean off cutting table Am I nuts?  I don't have time to do this now.  I've shoved the offending stuff back and I have a good size area to cut in.  It will do for the time being! 

Week of December 3
Get SS #6 into top form
Keep up with Easy Street

Happy quilting all!

  2. Love your pinwheel quilt. I like your idea of having a list of goals. I should probably start out this week with a list, too.

  3. The streak layout packs a visual punch. If you're L&E'ing for Easy Street, you must be doing a lot of other piecing -- or you are resigned to stretching out the project.

  4. Love the pinwheels! Your geese are looking good too! I am not using any of these pieces as leaders/enders and I'm STILL behind...LOL. Glad it's not a race!
