If you follow me you know that I love working with panels. And I do have a number of them and I wanted to just play one day. After looking through most (I thought) of them I picked out a piece that had several coordinating blocks, Holiday Homecoming for Henry Glass. What could be better than snowflakes and snowmen.
After picking three of the blocks and squaring them up I added the gray thin border to bring them up to the size I could work with for the flying geese units. For these large geese units I used the Fons and Porter flying geese ruler. It worked great for that.
For the corners of the flying geese units I made a gingham four patch unit. Put all three blocks together and you have yourself a table runner ready to quilt.
As for the quilting-a little fun custom for this beauty was in order.
And did you see what I did for the binding...red and black check to match the snowman's coat!
You might want to check back in a couple days to see what I did with three more of the blocks from the same panel! Can ya tell I was having a bit of fun??
