Then the "duh" moment happened, They only don't look good because there would already be a big amount of green/yellow, so I don't need to use them to bring more of that color in.

here is another progress pic - got all the pieces cut so the next step is to start sewing them to the paper. With 8 sections it should go pretty fast. I chain stitch them too, sew one seam on all 8 strips then press and repeat. I made "Catch Me if You Can" quilt so this small project is pretty easy. I've got another JDJ pattern I'd love to start, but this year is going to be a UFO year and see how much fat (fabric in totes) I can reduce.
*most of my UFO's are in totes in assorted stages of completion. I decided it's time to stop buying more totes and try to empty some of the existing ones.

Funnily enough DH & I have just been watching a few YouTube episodes about the Amish this afternoon... very interesting to watch...
Thank you, I can’t wait to see what you have added 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Macybaby, the flying geese are coming along nicely! I got your border completed today...I hope you like it! The gold is a little more prominent than I intended...the dark green was to go along with your dark color request...
mmonohon, I will be going to town on Thursday and can mail if you are ready for it or I can wait until Feb since we are way ahead of our Feb 15th due date...let me know.
Have4boys, I got your Moose block in the mail today....perfect timing. I have tomorrow as a home day so will narrow down my block ideas/pick fabrics and can get something if needed at the quilt shop when I am in town Thursday.
