Jeanie, I like your blocks. I've always looked forward to seeing your blocks. It's so cool to see how you fussy cut some of the fabrics!

Love them! Flying geese with goose eggs--you're too clever. Those fabrics are so pretty. Great job!

Love the "goose" eggs! And the colors in the two blocks are very nice.

I even bought more fabric a couple of times ... again, not my original intention.

Was I ever glad to see Weezie's comments! This is exactly the feelings I've been having this past week ... now I have the words!! I guess I've been getting the fear of a "fabric blender vomit" quilt!!!

Tonight I didn't feel so uptight about it ... and came one more step closer to the finale!!!

And coming to the end, I have yet to fall tired of looking at your blocks. PLUS they seem to get prettier and lovelier with each posting. All of you have done a phenomenal job ... and soon I'll be riding high in the saddle with you in the PC.

So here's last night's and tonight's results ......
#105--Wild Goose Chase
and
#106--Wild Rose and Square

Like you, QE, I feel that the blocks have gotten better over time, whether it's fabric selection or piecing. You have been such an awe inspiring group. So many of you got put the 3D element in the second block so well (janRN in particular)
weezie--I just about died when I read your fabric vomit comment. One advantage is that it would just look bad and not smell!!
QE at 100% these blocks look great; at 200 they are fantastic--the yellow blue is my favorite.
