Hi Quilting Friends,
The challenge for this week’s round, as presented by Emily @“The Darling Dogwood”, was to incorporate “Animal Kingdom” into Round 3. Read about the prompt HERE.
After a quick online search, I decided that a “migrating geese” border would be just the thing for my SAHRR project. Its an element that I haven’t used before, so I decided that it would be a fun technique to learn.
I watched a couple of online video tutorials, and then I made a couple of sketches on graph paper to help me with the size calculations. I tested it out with some scraps to make sure that I would be happy with the outcome.
I cut into my precious hand-dyes and batik scraps to make the pieces that I needed. An hour or so with the sewing machine and the iron, and voila! Two sections of my migrating geese border are completed.
My stitching time is limited for a while because my brother from Montana is currently staying with me as he heals from a recent surgery. I’m taking good care of him, and that’s almost a full-time job for the next week or so.
We’ll be heading to Montana on Valentine’s Day, where I’ll spend a few more days visiting with our parents and assisting as needed. 😉 My next post may be delayed a bit, but don’t worry. I will catch up as soon as I can.
So now I have an assortment of quilt pieces that I will need to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, along with pieces for two more migrating geese borders if I decide to use them here. I may opt to make a table runner instead of a throw or a wall quilt, since both time and materials are in short supply, but that’s still up in the air. This continues to be a fun challenge, and I’m looking forward to the next prompt.

Like Yvonne, I also hope that the convalescing goes well, as well as your trip to help your parents. These factors make me doubly impressed with your progress this week with the migrating geese blocks. It’s hard to sew when so much is going on around you, but you did it admirably. See you soon!

The migrating geese border looks great. It’s fun to try something new, especially when you don’t have to make a huge number of them. Enjoy your trip to Montana.
