Flying geese top almost done

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.

In my last blog post, I shared an 8-inch block using flying geese units, and an interesting set.

Today I report that I finished the blocks and started assembling the diagonal rows for the on-point setting.

Here is the top with setting triangles in place, minus borders:

And a close-up:

The border will be 4 inches wide (cut at 4.5 inches), using a navy print fabric I had held aside.  I had just enough:

Yes, that's what is left. I will add the borders later this week.

A Tale of two neutral fabrics

I had ordered a yard of a Kona Solid fabric in a more warm beige tone that my usual Kona Snow, to see if I liked it.  I did, and I went ahead and ordered 1.5 yards of this color, I thought, from etsy.  I was sure that I had originally ordered the champagne color.  So that is what I ordered from etsy.  I wanted it for the setting triangles for this project.  

Well, when it arrived, it was clear they were two different colors.

Triangles:  Champagne color.  Folded yardage:  the original purchase.  The color difference is more obvious in person.  I used the Kona Champagne in my quilt top.  I'll use the yardage in another project.
