Here are my month 3 blocks. I decided to work on all eight at once, and I found that to be a very enjoyable way to do them, so I'll continue with that. I had some strange seam allowance situations; in the third block on the bottom, some of my seam allowances were miniscule, because otherwise my geese points were getting cut off. I didn't really get how those were supposed to work, but somehow it came out alright. I am very excited to start on month 4, I feel as though I am gaining ground.

Joe'smom, Oh, goodness, geese and I just don't fly well together. I loose points, get wonky rectangles and more often than not just let them go their own way. They often fly directly into the recycle bin. I am doing OK with the four at a time method but still seem to get one of the "sky pieces" a little bigger than the other. Trim, trim, trim. Three cheers to you who have these honkers figured out. I avoid them whenever possible. Hard to do with so many patterns using geese by the flock.

Good morning all, still warm here in the UK ( where our Covid numbers are still going up again !!) Great blocks Joe'smom they look great !
Looking at Flying Geese have you seen the construction tips on Page 26 ( for Block B8 ? I use that method all the time and they work out OK !
Hope that helps x

Here are my June blocks. I also chickened out and substituted two blocks to avoid applique and fiddly diamonds. These came from "The Splendid Sampler" by Pat Sloan and were blocks I didn't do when I did my combined SS quilt (queen-sized). I did hand applique the heart in the center of one of the substitutes, though. This month's blocks were a nice batch. Thanks, Dotty, for keeping us going!

The blocks look great y'all! I have struck out on my own and am working on blocks they go in the quilt. Avoiding applique and only making 77 blocks for a twin size layout. Love the colors. We have tropical storm Claudette going thru today so it's a perfect day to sew. Happy Sewing!
