In the last year I've finished so many UFOs it's time to start a brand new project.
I've been cutting some of my scraps into rectangles.
Yesterday I started to sew the first few seams.
When I packed up at the end of the day, I had one wing sewn of 47 flying geese.
Tonight I sewed the second wing onto 3 of the flying geese.
I only have another 897 flying geese to go.
Before you know it I will have another quilt finished.

@Morleyhunt You are working fast. I am drawing some projects to prepare decorations for Easter. I sewed some nice hearts for the Valentine's Day.

We now officially have only 877 to go. I only spent a bit of time working on them today. I'll keep everyone updated. They'll probably get sick of my flying geese.

My Mom left her piggy quilt to me when she left us.

@Morleyhunt This is a poor photo. Too near a sunny window! I can try again if you can't get an idea of what the quilt is like.

It sounds beautiful, but it makes me exhausted just thinking about it!

Progress was made today with minimal effort. We now have 23 flying geese finished.

I usually do share photos of my finished quilts.
Next week I have a day at the local quilt shop to use their long arm machine.
I will finish two quilts next Wednesday.

You should be a master if the flying geese by the time you're done with those.
