Photo 1: I used to work so hard trying to get flyi Photo 1: I used to work so hard trying to get flying geese to come out the exact right size. Every time. Now I just make them a little bigger and trim them down, the same way we do half square triangles. So much easier. So much cleaner. Being open to changing your method… even after years of doing it one way matters.Photo 2: And this paper plate system? I didn’t expect to love it this much. One plate per block. Everything I need, all in one spot. If I have time for one block, I grab one plate. If I have time for three, I grab three. Less mess. Less digging. More sewing. quiltyclass.com

Each plate represents every piece needed for a single block. Super helpful for Soulshine since the blocks have a gazillion pieces! quiltyclass.comCabinet from @arrowsewing

I can't remember if I've showed this one here or n I can't remember if I've showed this one here or not. The quilt top was sitting in a closet for two years. Then I quilted it, and then it sat on a table quilted, but not bound for several months. FINALLY it's done. 😊 Sometimes these things just take how long they take. ❤️ https://meanderandmake.com/quilt-kits/fernweh-quilt/
