Day 9 of Block a Day December

Today I started on the next border of my Lockdown quilt. 

This picture shows my original idea for the layout and I think that it is still what I am going with —

I wanted to do 6" blocks in the next border, after 4" bubbles, so it was a challenge to do the maths to make it work.

Therefore the flying geese have to be 5" x 2" rather than the standard 5 x 2½". So I'm foundation piecing them. 

One block is two of the geese so that means I've tallied up two blocks for today.

I'm not 100% convinced that this will work, as the centre of the quilt is a little small. However I'm not going to overthink this quilt - it's a 'make do' one because of the circumstances of lockdown and I decided at the outset that anything will go - and no bought fabrics either!

Hopefully it will all pan out in the end :-)

Short and sweet tonight,

'til next time,

happy stitches,
