These little,or maybe I should say Micro geese blocks took me much longer than anticipated! Each block measures in at 1 1/2" x 2 1/2 "unfinished!
Here are some of the little guys all flying around on my design board :)
Check out this gaggle of baby honkers! I ended up making more than required for the row(not sure how that happened) so plan on using the extras for the back of the quilt.
About half an hour before I went outside to snap a few photos of these little guys,it was blowing and snowing like crazy! When I got outside,there was barely a whisper of a breeze,and it had quit snowing.
My plan was to get a shot of my baby geese getting in some flying practice! This was the best I could do. You can just see some snow dust on the steps at the right of the photo :)
Back inside,where it is toasty a toasty 65(our high temp today was 28)! Here are all five rows that I have completed so far. Row 6 is up,so I need to get busy on it,although it should go a lot quicker since it is the same size as the apples and butterflies :)
I also finally finished up my fall Rock Garden flag today :) Of course I had to add some geese and since I was on a roll with the babies,that is what is flying across the bottom of the flag!
The backside is a patchwork print in fun fall colors :) Just had time to snap these photos before dusk crept in on us.
This is one of two blocks I made for quilts for victims of Sandy,it is a disappearing 4 patch.
The second one,the fabric requested was florals,with a print that would read as a solid. This was the first time making this block,but won't be the last :)
Now I am going to try and get a couple blocks done for Karen over at Hazel Dell Quilts These will be Wonky Scrappy Log Cabin blocks,if you have a few minutes why not whip up a couple yourself?
Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend with at least a little sewing thrown in :) Don't forget tomorrow is my day to post for the UR Priceless Blog Hop so stop in to see my cute little coin purses!

Pretty little apples
It has taken me from last weekend to get up to speed on the row along,but caught up I am!
The two yellow apples are a little hard to see because they are both a very pale shade of yellow. I finished this just in time Friday evening to snap off couple of quick photos before it was to dark.
A close up so you can see one of the yellow apples,and also one of the apple cores. This photo was taken with the row around the my big Spirea bush. The colors are really pretty right now :)
Thought you might like to see the whole bush. It does a great job of hiding the ugly tongue of the trailer!
In other sewing news....
A little late,but here is the progress on my fall rock garden flag. It needs the border added and also the backing. I am thinking of geese for the border and a solid or pieced back,haven't decided on the back yet. This one is going to be laminated before it gets finished up and hung outside. Hopefully that will keep it from fading so much from the rain and sun.
Can you believe another weekend has flown by again? Me neither,and yet it has! Hope you had time for some sewing or crafting this weekend :)
