Strings and wings

I had every intention of trimming my string sashings for wonky wishes with this ruler, one at a time, It was the perfect ruler - just the right size.


But, then, genius kicked in, and I remembered I have a 3 1/2 inch strip die for my accuquilt.  woohoo.
I did 2 layers- perfect, then 3 layers, still perfect and 4 layers, no problem. A few turns and 58 blocks were trimmed.


I saw these adorable bunnies at the garden center. Surely, I can figure out a way to make them. yeah right.

Wild and goosey is at the top stage. I need to decide on borders. If I pick a print, there is a chance that it will become dated. That is why I love scrappy quilts. Any more scrappy, and it might just be too busy. I have looked at flying geese borders...I don't know yet. I love it, but, I almost wish I had used a solid for the cross blocks. I think the wild and goosey blocks would have shown out more. But, I love it. whoop whoop.

    Oh, your Wild and Goosey is just beautiful. I think all the colors in the cross blocks enhances the beauty and interest. I can't imagine them all being the same color -- it might look boring. And I think the white background unifies the quilt. (Just my novice opinion.)

    Oh gosh that Wild and Goosy looks absolutely stunning! 😍😍😍 I'm considering buying a die cut but never thought it'd be useful for borders, thanks for the tip!
