What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

On my Design Wall today.

This is my Stay-At-Home-Round-Robin, 

when I was actually caught up with the sew-along.

Then I worked finishing on a blog hop project and was distracted by other projects

and the SAHRR ended without me two weeks ago.

It is all good, though, as I will finish this in my own time.

In truth, the checkerboard challenge week proved puzzling to my quilty muse

and I sewed more than a few units that I set aside

before I decided to combine the checkerboard (four patch units)

 with the ...

I have been stuck here on my ...

Last Border ~ # 3 ~ Flying Geese

for twenty days and twenty nights.

 Three weeks behind and the last border to be announce on Monday.

This was in part due to prioritizing my Stripes Blog Hop Quilt

and, quite frankly, the "Checkerboard" border unexpectedly gave me trouble.

There has been a few twists and turns in the design part

and my seam ripper has gotten quite a workout. 

At last, I think I have got it.

The borders are sewn and tomorrow I will be adding them to my Round Robin.

It has been nice having him home this week.

On Monday he will be returning to ...

Time for this week's border for the 

Week # 3 @ Anja Quilts

This week the challenge is geese. 

This one is proving a bit of a challenge for me.

I have my tried and true method for flying geese.

I like to cut corners and chain piece.

The challenge is the layout.

How much background fabric in this border?

Colors?

Size of Geese?

Cornerstones or not?

These are The Little Questions.

Hmmmmm ... shall have to hope my quilting muse speaks.

More geese  later ... hopefully ... coming soon.

I may be a bit distracted by the white stuff ...
