My quilters guild has a "free table" at each meeting. On this table (well, it's often more than one table), members place fabric, patterns, books, notions, or anything quilt/sewing related that she wants to purge from her stash. On Monday, I carried a bin-full of stuff, and it was all snapped up. I didn't have to bring anything back home.
And, I'm proud to say, I only brought one piece of free fabric back home with me. That's it in the photo above. I thought it would make a pretty cushion for my sofa. Now whether or not or when I get that cushion made is another story.
Today I have to make a hanging sleeve for the back of my "Hootie Bunch" quilt. Daughter Andy saw it yesterday and wanted it. So I'm giving it to her to hang in her house--and early Christmas present.
Still working on replacement flying geese. A couple of you suggested cutting down my too-large geese. I can't figure out how to do that without losing points. If anyone knows how, please let me know.

Could you trim some off the ends and the bottom, which is ivory in your picture?

Would Monique Dillard's 'Fit To Be Geese' ruler work to cut yours down? You purposely make them larger then use the ruler to make perfect flying geese, points & all. The rulers come in two sizes & I use them anytime I have flying geese in a project.

Eleanor Burns has 2 flying geese rulers. Each one has the directions for 2 sizes.
Love the quilt. I'm going to try to finish some projects that are already started without starting more. (Like that's really going to happen!!)
