A quilt top a year in the making

Way back in December of 2010, I decided to have the girls in the Sew Beautiful Bee make circle of flying geese blocks for me. My month was April, so at the end of March 2011, I cut up all my fabric and shipped it out. I received back ten gorgeous blocks and was so excited to put the quilt together. But then they sat and sat and sat.

I toyed with a few layout ideas, but ultimately settled on a circular one. This week I made a double circle of geese block (design credit goes to the amazing Lynne of Lily's Quilts) for the center. And I kinda like how the quilt top turned out.

There are two more blocks that will go on the back, one with gray, yellow, and green geese, and one with gray, yellow, and blue geese.

I definitely need to practice my paper piecing skills though. This quilt top literally wouldn't have been possible without the help of the ladies in my bee. Thank you so much, girls! You are all so talented!
