Only 2 blocks for the 2nd part of March: 1 12" (finished) and 1 3"x 12" (finished). I did the geese with the quick method, making 4 at a time. It really is quick and easy. After completing the strip of flying geese, it was on to the 12" block - this time a hand pieced block. The directions were clear and easy to follow and I followed them until the last step. The center was to be appliqued with 6 tiny melon shapes. Instead of all the little pieces, I turned under the edges of the large triangles and appliqued them to a piece of light background fabric I'd pinned behind the center. I then cut out 1 piece for the center and appliqued it onto the center background circle. The hand piecing of the pieces was a bit tedious but the applique went very quickly for me. I'm pleased with the result as I don't think I would have attempted this block on my own. Now - I'm caught up on my block making for the Just Takes 2 quilt so I'll be anxious to see what comes next (the next clues come out April 1).
