The Geese are Flying

Are these things contagious?  How many geese are flying around my house now?
Before yesterday, I rarely made flying geese blocks. Then a couple  of photos on a blog and I am making lots of geese.
I pulled out a jelly roll of fabric, some yardage in blue and purple, and my Go fabric cutter to make strips of the yardage.
Then a quarter-square triangle unit, a bit of chain piecing and some design play and I have this layout.

Monday evening, I did this layout with some geese and some leftover strips:


The geese have been flying for sure. I love the variations that can be created so easily.  Abby said that she likes them too. I wonder what she will have me doing next.....

Yup - looks like they're contagious - and that you and Abby are having a lot of fun - can't wait to see what you two come up with next - ;))

Very cool configurations, as always, and although I would not have thought to combine the colors in the first photo that
you did, I really like them together! Are these things contagious? Guess so, you have caught the bug. They are also addicting.

Yep...you "got it!" You will have skeins of them before you know it...they'll be everywhere. Why not? There are many ways to lay them out. I specifically want to make a border with them. One day...

Wonderful! I always have issues with making them...those long edges seem to bow outward... :)
