Tokyo Triangle/ Geese in the Forest: Progress

I have been picking up old projects and trying to make some progress on them. Back in November of last year(!), I decided to start the Tokyo Triangles quilt I kept seeing around. So I started sewing and sewing, until I had around 250 geese made. I then started sewing these little geese into sections of three.

This past spring, twiddletails started a block of the month for a geese in the forest quilt based on the tokyo triangle quilt. Here is March's Friendly Flock below.


May's block "Friendly Formation" is here!
I may use some of my groupings of three to finish up April's block since they are the correct size and all I will need to do is add sides. Paper piecing is easier than I thought it would be, but these take forever to make! I don't know how I will combine all of these blocks quite yet, but I am excited about how they will look together. I am using up scraps and bought the cream to work on this project.

Tokyo Triangle Quilt: Progress Nov. 9th!

I have slowly been working on my triangle quilt this past week. Once you have a lot cut, it actually can go pretty quickly. I have been cutting and then drawing my sew lines while watching t.v. or a movie here and there.

This past week I was able to make another 130 of these flying geese units!

With the units I made last week, I now have 216! These are my brand new ones. I didn't bring out the older(er) ones for a picture. Coming soon! I am slowly getting there...

Tokyo Triangle Quilt

I have decided to undertake another long term quilt project. I should be quilting and finishing up what I have already started but I couldn't resist. Plus, this is a quilt that can be worked on a little at a time over the course of several months. Here are 86 flying geese that will eventually end up in a quilt like this.

I am going to try to make 40 of these units a week until I am done. That sounds like a lot, but I already have about 60 more squares cut that will make 4 units each. So I can realisitically make 8 in about fifteen minutes. (Do you hear me justifying this craziness?) I am using this tutorial to make them. I learned about this whole project from crazymomquilts.
