A new quilt - flying geese

It has been a while since I posted anything on here. It's been a busy couple of months, wrestling with a difficult time at work and the early stages of pregnancy. I haven't picked up a piece of fabric in months and I've missed it! I have three projects on the go - and now two baby quilts to add to the pile: one for my best friend's baby, and now, happily, one for mine. I also haven't read a book in a while, having the attention span of a sparrow! It's summer holiday now and this is all about to change!

I have been busy chopping up fabric for project number 1: a flying geese quilt for my hubby and I. I won a fabric bundle of Lewis and Irene's Manor House range from a Facebook competition and I am using this (along with the pack of the same fabrics that I had already purchased) with some plain colours that complement. 


I have never used the flying geese pattern before, and this is my first attempt. The wings will all be either white or off white with a white border all around. I'm not sure how the overall finish will be but will use my living room floor to layout all of the pieces to get a feel for colours etc when I've finally finished sewing up all 230 flying geese. Why do I do this to myself?!!!
