Sewing . . . finally

I finally did a little sewing this week.  Since I wasn't sure exactly what to sew, I started by pulling some fabrics and cutting some long strips.


Then I stitched them together.


And then sliced them into smaller sections, made some very wonky flying geese, added in a few solids and some essex linen in flax and then improv pieced it all together into a baby quilt.



 I then picked out some fabrics to piece together a simple back but got sidetracked with another quilt idea that started with this stack of fabrics.


And which might possibly include this block.


Linking to WIP Wednesday.

    Pretty! I notice you have a print I could not get my hands on. Picnic. You used for the wonky geese.
