Advent Advent-ure

[Lowena]

Zelda has just told me that " it can be scrappy if that helps "

[Pearl]

The black fabric (that you need almost 8m of) that Zelda used is only £7.96 a metre from wool warehouse.   :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:

[Iminei]

Zelda has offered the black to me at £6.75 per metre ... she has a stock.

[Lowena]

I started the first block @Pearl and @Iminei
I couldn't understand how to make her stupid bloody flying geese so I didn't get very far
I can download her instructions ok but not the original ways she makes certain things 
Lots of tiny pieces and fiddly measurements....

[Iminei]

Heres the link

for the Flying geese @Lowena

(Couldn’t rescue this one – Acorn)

first 50 seconds of this one

Tweaked the links because Facebook hates us and uses square brackets in their links, which messes with our coding.   

[Lowena]

Thank you @Iminei but I just get " error: whoops, something went wrong "

[Iminei]

That is one weird way of making FG but Im up for it!

   I posted links to the actual Youtube page 

Flying Geese the weird way


Square in Square Tut

I think this is the one where the first 50 seconds are the relevant bit .....

Quarter Square Triangle Tut

and lastly Beginner Quilting Tut

[Acorn]

I've been trying to sort out those links, but they're very weird.  I'll have one last go.

[Acorn]

I've rescued what I could - the links came through as Youtube links taken from FB pages.   

[Lowena]

Thank you @Acorn computers
The links are weird, the methods are weird  :thinking:

[Iminei]

Well Ive started and I will go as far as I can with what I have ... Here are Block 1 and 2 ...

Advent Advent - ure

The Red  in block 1 is lame ... hehehhehe ...  and Im going scrappy with both Red and Green elements ... just choosing fabrics in the same saturation of colour (Is that a thing @BrendaP ???) and the greys too if I run out as I have some Hoffman dotty batiks in white to black.

BTW that flying geese method is good!!!!

[Pearl]

Beautiful!  Love them.   

Really wish I had a useful stash instead of a room full of fabric which is unsuitable for anything.   Two of my sewing classes have been cancelled as we're in Tier 3, so I've been refunded.  I'll use it for fabric for this but I'm not starting till I've finished BOM quilt.

[Iminei]

Good Girl ... You want your exclusive TSP Prize winners badge dont you ??? 

[BrendaP]

 Im going scrappy with both Red and Green elements ... just choosing fabrics in the same saturation of colour (Is that a thing @BrendaP ???)

@Iminei Yes - it just means the same strength of dye - full saturation means bright colours not diluted with white to makeit pastel.

Thank you Oh Goddess!
