This month's Electric Quilt design challenge is using the paper pieced flying geese block, Simple Design. I don't always do these, but it's fun to give them a try just to keep my EQ8 skills alive and in my mind. It's fun to try and use a block that you normally wouldn't choose. Paper-pieced flying geese? Bleah!
I wanted to try a design using the Pantone color of the year, Peach Fuzz. This is a rather unlikely color for me to choose to use in such a big way, but I kind of like it here. It's warm and sort of soft looking--comfortable. If I were to actually make this quilt, I would be very unlikely to piece the solid color blocks but would instead just use squares of the solid fabric and quilt in the outline of the block design lines.
