And for your viewing pleasure ---I found this lovely while antique browsing in Georgia last week – it’s stayed on my mind all week, and I keep going back to look at these photos!

Wild Goose Chase!

These fabrics are just awesome --- 1940s –1950s? Such fun and splashy scrap bag beauties.

That big floral in the bottom just keeps popping up ----I love that busy block! And you know what I also love?  GINGHAMS.  They always look happy.

These are BIG bold blocks…I’m guessing about 16” or so?

I also love that some of the blocks are a lot lighter in value than the others…..and yet they aren’t grouped light/dark/light/dark – they are wherever they are and it just keeps your eyes moving from block to block, doesn’t it?

Remember all those 1.5” X 3” finished geese we made for Easy Street?  You’ve got the technique down --- you could seriously go to town on these ---it would be GREAT!

I am feeling a need to go digging into those ginghams ---

Have a great evening, everyone!
