More Wild and Goosey

I been working on Wild and Goosey this week.  So far, I've made 65 units, up from 40 last Sunday. Each W&G unit has 13 little pieces, so  there are 845 little scraps in these blocks!  My goal is to sew my scraps into blocks instead of cutting,  sorting and storing them.  My sewing space is particularly messy right now!


 It takes me over an hour to make four W&G units.   I've had a lot of sewing time this week, but I'll be doing some traveling soon, so I won't be able to get as much done.  I'm setting a goal of making 10 W&G units a week.  That seems doable to me.  At that rate, it will take me about 6 months to make enough of these guys for a decent sized quilt.  I'm not sure that is realistic, but we'll see.

I've also been working on the last round of Group A Twilter Round Robin.  I've got the hard part (the designing) done.  Now I just have to execute it.  It needs to go out in mid February, but I'd like to finish it this weekend.  Sorry, I can't post pictures here until it gets back to its owner.

I'm also caught up with the Project of Doom block for this week.  All in all, a great week for sewing!

Beautiful! I love the impact of flying geese though I admit that I do not like making them :)

I love your W&G blocks! They do look time consuming but wonderfully scrappy.

That is a huge goal Laura! I do love the look of these scrappy blocks and a quilt like this would be just... WOW! You don't shy away from challenges, do you? I would be interspersing these with easy blocks at about this point,. LOL
