MONTH 5 — Show Your Progress Here

[Helen W.]

Elizabeth, You could just move the leaves down so you have the spacing you want. HelenW

[Elizabeth A.]

I decided to create a pattern for the leaves and stem when I realized I had not allowed enough room for the berry if the stem is only 3.5 “….. may make the stem longer to accommodate the berry

[Suzanne F.]

Barbara, as always, I love how you "make it your own." What kind of stitch are you using? I assume I am seeing machine applique?

[Helen W.]

Renee, What a beautiful quilt you are creating. Never would have used green for the flowers but it looks great. The green sprigs after the geese tone down that area so your eye attention goes to stars
and geese. You have great talent for picking colors. Very, Very Pretty!!! HelenW

[Helen W.]

Renee, You are right, the geese are all in a row. The ducks on our lake (Lake Coeur d Alene) are never in a row. The little ones scatter here there and every where. Your geese look great. HelenW

[Renee M.]

Month 5 plus 4 star blocks. I really love the light side/dark side HST's.

[Carol G.]

Donna - I agree with you about the light color triangles disappearing, I'm using my own stash so I'm auditioning different colors now

[Carol G.]

Helen I was going to try one of the blues. I see what the purple looks like with the yellow as well. Thank you

[Donna M.]

I have decided not to use the Unicorn Poop colors in the HST's. I think they disappear on the background fabric too much. So those will be the same colors. I didn't think about doing the full flying geese until I had already made my subcuts. I have the applique pieces cut and the stems in progress.

[Donna M.]

Amazing! I have managed to get the first set of 8 large triangles done...

[Holly M.]

Still working on month 4. Just a lot going on for me but I, too, am considering "full" flying geese vs HST flying geese. I think it will work to highlight the dense appliqué sections.

[Donna M.]

Barbara Black answered your question in the Month 5 Ask Questions Forum. Are you all set?

[Helen W.]

Carol, I like the one color geese. How about that beautiful purple you have for the star. A little
more contrast and it is nice to put the center of attention in a couple different places in the quilt. HelenW

[Carol G.]

Just a start to see if I like it. I'm doing flying geese instead of 2 color hst's.

[Renee M.]

Making sure all my ducks (geese) are all in a row. I have a definite light side.
