Iceblossom

Sorry for the length of time getting back to this, I thought it would be a couple of days and not the better part of a month. I'm staying home today for Thanksgiving and intend to finish this top, or at least get it into rows today so I can start the Bonnie Hunter mystery tomorrow.

I've made all my geese units but only about half my blocks because I wanted to show some different layout options. Again, I think the issues of design and attribution are important to quilters but at the same time, it's why we have lawyers because different people think differently or seize on different aspects. For me, this was "my" quilt as soon as I choose my fabric. Plus, again, I've changed the size and the construction methods. But there are so many options we have as quilters to change things around even using the same fabrics and units.

Picture one is the layout I'll be using, it is also the designer's layout. Notice how the geese radiate out from the white blocks in the top rows.

Picture two is circling the geese around the block for a different type of energy.

Picture 3 shows more of what I would have designed if I started with just these fabrics. That center square is still made of the geese units, but I probably probably would reinforce the interconnecting design by using the cherry blossom print as a square with the red pin dot as the small triangles. The large and smaller black background prints would work nicely together

Picture 4 shows another movement option, more then 3 and less than 1 or 2...
