Good day and welcome to my blog. It's a lovely summer day in the American Midwest.
I was fortunate to spend some time in my sewing area today to finish up the last of my planned 35 Starlight geese blocks. I wrote about the beginnings of the project in this post, which has background info on the pattern. I am using real feedsack fabrics and a constant background fabric of Kona Snow. This pattern takes a lot of background fabric!
Anyhow, here are all my blocks, laid out on my design floor:
Getting ready to sew. The block on the top is a little small on one side so it's pulled out for special treatment.
First set with sashing, laid out to see how it looks:
Yes, sometimes points get chopped off, no matter how careful you are with measuring and keeping a steady 1/4 inch seam. (look at blue triangle at lower right; triangle at uppermost right).
Blocks finish at 10 inches square. Projected size is 60 by 84 inches, plus maybe borders, so a throw size.

This is so pretty, especially with the feedsack fabrics. Can't wait to see the finished top. And yes, my points get cut off too and now I don't feel so bad when mine are not perfect. Thank you for sharing the pattern and for the inspiration.
What a beautiful scrappy quilt!
This is just beautiful! I too have experinenced lost points but I never worry about it.
Amazing! Love the design of the blocks and your addition of sashing makes it even better. We all have gone through lost points ( or stretched seam allowances to fit). The age old struggle of perfecting our quarter inch seam. Ugh. Love it anyway.
These geese are terrific! It's a beautiful project.
Those feedback fabrics are fabulous!
Fabulous scrappy geese. Love them.
beautiful!
Nice block and I love the scrappy feeling of it. Well done.
Never mind the cut off points the overall look is fabulous. I really like it.
Such lovely blocks! I enjoy seeing the feedsack pieces, as I've collected feedsacks for years. This is a great pattern for them.
Such dynamic blocks! It is amazing how much background goes into a project of that size!
