AJ's Mystery Quilt all cut ready to go!

Well I have finished sewing all my blocks for AJ's Mystery Quilt, now just have to wait till we are up to the layout instructions. Hmmmm, never noticed how dirty my iron board cover is! So I have 4 x 3.5 inch squares, 22 flying geese blocks, they measure 6.5 x 3.5 inches. Also 10 hourglass blocks and 8 pinwheels, both measuring 6.5 inches square. Look at that! I pick a pinwheel to photograph that doesn't match up! Opps! And also 24 flying geese with a square on each side, they measure 3.5 x 12.5 inches. So it is very interesting seeing how it will all fall in place. I think there are 4 of us sewing along with AJ now? Bee, Car and Ads who had issues.... AJ I am happy to wait till the others have caught up before going onto the next stage.

I'm thinking though...... I reckon the flying geese blocks will make a star with the 6.5 inch feature fabric??! Thats my little guess. I still haven't cut my feature fabric, maybe I should go back to that blue butterfly print? Oh the indecision!

Sorry Helen....small correction...I hope you only have 9 hourglass blocks...?? you will only need 9 which means you are going to be some geese short...did you have any of the 'C' traignles left over??

AJ, I can't count! I have 9 hourglass blocks, not 10. Thats 9!!! I have no "c" triangles left over though, should I??

Car, dreaming of quilting! Is there any other dreams? :)
