Thanks for the kind comments....there is a nice e pattern on the Red Rooster website, and we have kits made up at the shop with it, but I am kind of a maverick and like to have my own take on it. Had no idea what I was going to do, then thought flying geese in fall. Having the geese in just the corners helped solve the problem of uneven width and length of the panel...I had the rust and the geese came from Nina's box...the binding also came from her...tonight I got them sandwiched and started in the ditch quilting around the geese...plan on doing 3 lines of parallel stitching in the L shaped corners. I think I will get another panel for the other 2...it's not often one finds scenes that look like your own backyard.
QBuddy and I are shop hopping tomorrow...just to see what's new in some of our favorite shops.
