Project QUILTING – Technical Difficulties

March 14, 2011 by persimondreams Leave a Comment

One of the main challenges of Project QUILTING is that you only have one week to accomplish the project.  It doesn’t take much to happen for a person to miss the deadline.  This week we had a new participant have some technical difficulties and her piece did not make it in on time.  I’m very happy that she sent me pictures of her piece anyway so I can still share it with you all.

I know I am too late for the contest but since I went to the trouble of rushing to finish this flying geese project I thought I would submit it anyway. I thought all week about entering but couldn’t come up with any ideas till
yesterday. I went through my stash and wasn’t sure that the colors would work, but after getting it together I think they work better than I thought. I made the flying geese first, then I sewed the leftover triangles for the outer border. For the binding I used the same colors but used 4×2 inch strips folded in half. I like how it came out. I haven’t decided if I want to add a sleeve on the back for a wall hanging or if I will send it to my granddaughter for a doll blanket.

There’s still plenty of time to VOTE for your favorite Project QUILTING Flying Geese entry for the previous challenge so check out this post:  http://kimlapacek.com/2011/03/time-to-vote-project-quilting-flying.html to see what everyone came up with!
