Thanks to my Gypsy Wife top, I have yards used to report. They should have gone on last week's report which I didn't get around to. Three yards seems like a paltry number of yards used for the number of hours I spent figuring out this quilt!
Used This Week: 3 yards (Gypsy Wife)
Used Year to Date: 44.125 yards
Added this week: 0 yards

This weekend I've been into my scraps. Here are some units for Wild & Goosey:
I'm considering a wandering geese border for this quilt. This is a trial paper pieced section. I like the idea of paper piecing this border because it requires no pre-cutting.
Here are half blocks. I love the variety of scraps in this quilt.
I'm still not sure how big I want to make this quilt. Here are the blocks I have completed. They are sewn into rows, but the rows aren't sewn together yet. I think I want an x block in each of the four corners which means each row needs an odd number of blocks.
I ordered the sewing room floor this week. They said it will take a couple of weeks to get it in and install. Can't wait!
If you have a design wall in your sewing space, please let me know how you made it and if you are happy with it. A design wall for my sewing room is on my list of wants for this space.

Loving your Wild & Goosey blocks!
My design wall is two sheets of 1-1/4" thick foam core board mounted to the wall with screws/washers at the top & bottom, into the studs. Each sheet is 4' by 8' so the design wall is 96" square. After mounting it and cutting out for the outlet, we spray-glued it and spread wide flannel backing fabric over the whole thing, smoothing it out and pinning it into the sides. I love it - it works great!
Your wild and goosey is fabulous! I love all those scrappy blocks. I have a design wall from ceiling to baseboard using pink panther foam core boards and covered with flannel. I have made this wall in every house we have moved to. It's easy, inexpensive and you can stick pins in it if yo want, or just run your hand over the blocks and they stick to the flannel very well. Some people cover theirs with a think batting. Try a small board to see what works best for you.
