FRIDAY'S MUDDLE

Things are in a bit of a muddle here.  I am getting ready to take a week off and visit my VBF Brooke of Silly Mama Quilts and I have so many projects in the process that right now things just seem out of control.  
This week I took a detour and pulled some baby fabric out of my stash for some relief of making Dresden and Geese blocks.  I have not used this fabric, a left over from my grandson Noah's baby quilt, in 12 years.  Yes, he was 12 in April.  Still cute as ever, the fabric and the grandson. 
I have some pieces all cut and ready to make into star blocks with my Tilda Lemon Tree fabrics.  
This mess is all the strips cut to add to do my braided quilt blocks.  This project sort of got set aside while I moved on to others.  
More partially made Geese.  I have all I need cut and I am making good headway on finishing them off.  
Well at least a bit of progress has been made.  Three more Dresden blocks ready for just the centers sewn down, and 16 of the 24 Geese I need complete.  Some progress was made in this rather disjointed week.

    Aren't those flying geese addictive? I use the QIAD ruler if I have larger pieces. I love your choice of fabrics.

    I love those fabrics you are using for your geese and your Dresden plates. So, in case you are REALLY sick of looking at that quilt by the time it's done, I volunteer to adopt it into my home... ;-) As for the passage of 12 years in a blink -- I can relate to that, too. My baby is finishing up his JUNIOR year of high school right now, and the soon-to-leave-my-nest panic is definitely setting in. When I come across bits of leftover fabric from his baby quilt in my scrap stash, they are like precious treasures that bring back so many memories. I wish I had bought more of every fabric when I was starting out, so I would have more of those memory scrap treasures! Instead I bought exactly the amount of fabric called for in the pattern, and then had to deal with shortages due to the Catastrophic Cutting Mistakes that happen EVERY TIME I start a new quilt...
