Good day, and thanks for visiting my blog!
Don't we all like a new start, now and again?
I pulled out my vintage fabric and feedsacks and had a cutting part last week and during this week. I have purchased items off ebay when I can get them at a good price, or at antique fairs, or antique malls, even at thrift stores. I cut squares of feedsacks and backing fabric (Kona Snow) for no waste flying geese:

Remember a scant 1/4 inch seam allowance, or the geese blocks will be a touch too small.
And put together 12 inch blocks using this pattern:

It's fun to see the blocks come together.
These are the first two blocks to be made. Since I had all my vintage feedsacks out, I also cut squares for two other projects. I'll get to them later this spring or summer. I am having fun with these blocks. I now have 6 blocks made. More on these next week!
