What's this no waste method of doing flying geese? I've not bothered doing any until now as to be honest, I don't much like them. Sorry.  :|

Let's talk about that in a separate thread, rather than tangle up the mystery thread. Off to start one.

Clue 3 done.  Clue 4 with all those geese to go and then I've caught up.  Can I do them before the fifth clue?

Right Ladies ....

Clue 5 is hovering on the horizon....

and as things are going to move very fast from now on, I am going to release one clue a week from Saturday the 15th July!

Try and make sure you are up to date and you will find that having squared up your blocks as you went along things are going to fly by....

The last clue will be released on the first Saturday in August and then it will be up to you....
I firmly hope to see some beautiful finished quilts by the Autumn.

Mhmm that means I'll have to play catch up again as we're away on holiday for the first two.  I'll just have to watch how everyone else starts to put theirs together.

Oh Ploshy  :devil: you've caught me red handed  :| I've still only done 2 ducks behind sofa! I just can't  get myself motivated to do the little beggars.... I appear to have "geese blocks" of every description.. mental, physical and emotional. I need encouragement... or a real kick up the **** to get me started  :ninja:

You'll probably feel more motivated to do them when we start putting the blocks together Lowena. I admit to doing the minimum amount in case I didn't like it(sorry Imi) but I still have enough fabric to make more blocks if I love it and want to make it a decent size.  :S

No problem SG

When I first did this, it started as a crib size and turned into a single ...

The genius of this Tut is that you have a written record of the amount of blocks you need for each size within each clue,
so if you decide to up-size, you just make more of the relevant blocks!
