Quilt Along Blocks

I'm doing the Quilt Along that Crazy Mom Quilts is hosting. I'm actually all caught up! I've already shown you the fabric that I'm using. So, here are the blocks.
Of course, my points aren't perfect. *sigh* I aspire to perfect points, but don't always rarely achieve them. I wish I knew the secret. I'm sure there must be one. I swear I've done everything that I can to get them, and it still seems like it's hit or miss as to whether they come out or not.

Love the fabric in this block.

I was looking at some of the other quilters doing the quilt along, and Amy posted a website for making Flying Geese from squares. Thank you Amy! I like making triangles from squares much better than cutting triangles and trying to sew them. I can hardly wait to try it.

Here I've laid them out with the setting blocks. I think this is going to be a great looking quilt.


I've done more setting blocks and I'm going to get started on this weeks blocks, so hopefully I'll have more pictures of soon.

I really REALLY like those! your triangles are perfect - what were you worried about? I love the one with the bird in it. Very nice work.

I'm glad the shortcut for flying geese helped. The oranges are looking good. I am about to teach a friend , who is an utter orange nut, to quilt so I will have to point her in your direction.

These quilt blocks are great. I know what you mean about perfect points - I often have trouble just getting squares to align properly! Thanks for your comment on my blog - I'm guessing we're not the only fans of that fabric as I keep on getting emails asking whether I've got any yardage to sell on etsy.
