I have been making flying geese to go around the Squirrel Star quilt. So named because...it is a squirrel!!! It is sort of a springtime, pastel quilt. I have sewn a zillion flying geese for it and have more to go.
I went to an estate sale this spring, and the lady selling her things and was moving to Switzerland. In her things were some 100% cotton sheets, still in the yellowed, old packaging. I bought a couple. I took one out of the package, washed it, and WOW!!! It is the softest, thickest sheet I have ever imagined, much less felt. It is wonderful for piecing!!! They were a very odd size, and the one I washed was smaller than a twin size. I am loving piecing with it!!! I translated the writing on the package, to find out what it said. I have never seen such a high-quality sheet in my life.
I was just playing here...fun piecing!
I added another round on the Unity quilt. I made this round simple. I could not make the scraps I had work right in making the round in the pattern, so I just did this. It will be just fine!!!
Hope you are doing fine too!!

I love the Squirrel Star! It’s gorgeous.
Look at you go! Love flying geese borders although they are a bit labor intense.
Cool on the sheets!
Great estate sale score -- and good for you for finally using the fabric, even though not on a bed. Your new quilt looks great. How many rounds of geese do you plan?
I love the spring squirrel... so pretty!
What a great idea to use a sheet for background fabric... that would never occur to me!
Love the squirrel star quilt......
