@Iminei
the bright green is the colour I've run out of and the yellow (not a true likeness) is what I have.
I am making a Peridot rather than a Citrine


thanks for offer  but not sure bright yellow batik will fit as it's for the light colour?

Rubbish colour reproduction!

This is my citrine star (fire opal) it's far from perfect but I have learned a lot from making the flying geese.  The next 4 blocks should be better.  I was unsure about the Light fabric but think I will keep it as is.  Oh, and the Booboo   :\

Block two already scared me off of the mystery quilt.  This one does too. I still have the nice backing fabric I bought so maybe I'll just do something else with it but still in the gem stone coloring.

@mudcat once the pieces are cut it goes together really quickly and easier than I first thought. It is a fun block to make and I am enjoying it.  I am still learning and managing to do it  :)

@mudcat - the hardest part is cutting out the correct size pieces. :rolleyes:

As Lilian says, once you've done that it will go together really easily. :)

Give it a go - you might be pleasantly surprised.

I must admit Block 2's fancy Flying Geese were a complete Mare ... To the extent that the original designer of this block changed the destructions mid way through to normal geese ...

So A Brilliant Big Bravo to all of those who have made them so beautifully ...

Myself I had 4 prototypes before going for the real thing!

But as you can see from the halfway pic I took, I hope you agree that its worth it.

Before I cut any pieces for Block 4 I am going to cut SIX Long LOF strips for the sashing and borders.
