Row Along/ Row 5

 I am so happy :)

I have now caught up with all of the rows that have been revealed so far with

Bee In My Bonnet's

Row Along

Row 5 is a filler row of

Flying Geese

 A total of 48 bright little flying geese

all stitched together, 

 looking all ready to fly

South for the winter.

Lori offers a great tutorial on the

"Fast Flying Geese Method".

I had never tried this method before, and it was fun

to learn a new technique.

Lori used an Omnigrid Clear Marking Ruler to mark 1/4-inch lines

away from the center of the block.

Because I don't have the ruler, I improvised and used my

 Frixion pen.

After I stitched, the lines disappeared with the touch of an iron.

see Sept 3rd post

 With Row 5 sitting next to the previous 4 rows, the quilt is really starting to take shape.

 Lori announced we have some fun rows to look forward to:

flowers, spools, fall leaves, mugs, and  baskets

are coming next!

(along with some filler rows)

A new row will be revealed every 2 weeks.

It's never too late to join in on
