Great idea. I'm going to try this.

Thanks ladies, The block do take some time to make, I mean 33 pieces in one block lol

Not enough words to express astonishment at your precise sewing ... and color selections.
Gonna have to try this block!

great tip. the blocks you have done are super; can't wait to see the finished quilt.

And welcome back.

More blocks
 

Hi Everyone, I have finished 22 block so far and will be sewing some more right now. I am including some pics of some of the blocks up close so you can see how pretty some of this fabric is. I made a couple rogue blocks. That means that I am using all florals for an entire block except the HST that will join the background. I tried this just in case I run out of mediums and darks and they look good. If I end up with a bunch of them, I will scatter them through the quilt when I set up. I am really enjoying making this quilt. The first two are the rogues, the other ones show a fussy cut in the middle and then the 22 together.

Great start for a special quilt. I think the fabric choices are very pretty. I also like the technique you are using for make the flying geese. I don't like cutting off all those corners and saving them-for what? This way you don't have that wasted fabric. Keep up the beautiful work.

Thanks QP, yes, this is no waste, I just cut the squares and cut in half and PP.

love your blocks

Your fabrics and blocks are lovely, that can only make a lovely quilt when the time comes.

I have made 34 blocks so far, 30 to go. I will post those when I get them done.

Welcome back! You are a wonderful friend to do this your friend that can't sew anymore! I'd like a friend like you! That will be a lovely quilt full of love when you are finished. I'm sure she will love it. You method sounds easy but I am very visual and I would need step by step, however. Is the pp block for the geese is on the quilter's cache?

What great fabrics....this is going to be a beautiful quilt.
And i agree with you Rosy....i could never get the accuracy with regular piecing that i can get with PP'ing.....and the time i spend ripping paper is more than made up by the speed with which i can sew the pattern. (and if i'm lucky, sometimes i can get a helper when it comes to tearing off the paper)
I'll be looking forward to seeing the finished project....your friend will be so thrilled, i'm sure.

Beautiful fabrics and colors!

I love the fabrics and what you're doing with them. Lovely work.

Yes PJ, she has several size but then I also found it in block base and EQ.

Ok, I have had my diversion lol now back to the block. 25 to go.......

Lovely blocks.
peace

your blocks came out beautiful

those blocks all together are making one great floral quilt!

Oh Lord, I have finished the blocks, sewed them together, quilt top done, not!!! I realize that 1/4 blocks go around the quilt hahahaha....I need another divisions. I made one side and attached it already. They don't really take that long, just a whole day lol.

While reading the board, I found an inspiration tho. Log cabin blocks, all floral on one side and something else on the other side...but not doing that right now, need something else lol.....

I found a diversion lol....will post later.

Pretty blocks!

Oh thank Jesus I have finished the king quilt lol. I was getting a bit tired of all those blocks but it is done! Now, probably in the next couple days I will go get the backing and start to quilt it. I hope to have it done this week including the binding and I will post it then all done for you to see. doing a happy dance right now lol.....

very nice. it almost looks like a 30's quilt

Your blocks are so pretty! Thanks for sharing your method.

All Done
 

Here is a pic of the finished. It took about three months because I took lots of diversions and breaks from it lol. I used three different florals for the back.

Beautiful quilt!!!

Very pretty quilt, love all the florals!

It's beautiful!

Beautiful fabric.

Just beautiful :)

Looks very good!

I didn't read all of the posts, but if you are making eight of each kind, the "No Waste" way of making flying geese is the way to go. Very easy and very accurate, with no fabric waste. Google "No Waste Flying Geese" and you should get the directions.

Love the blocks. And you are so smart to have made those patterns easier.

Very nice.
