Did you see my post yesterday about cutting out the pieces for this quilt? If you missed it, you can read it right here: Cutting Windy Mills. Moving right along, the first thing to sew on this project is these Flying Geese units.
More progress shows lots of Flying Geese units, plus some of the next step, sewing the units to white strips.
This is my first finished block! So pretty. I like it. What do you think?
I completed nine of the Windy Mills blocks in one sewing session. I like the way they look set together in this straight setting arrangement. Time to sew some more. What are you working on today?

I'm cutting out a new quilt for my Etsy shop. This one will feature a Windmill looking block, so I'm tentatively calling it Windy Mills, but the name could change.
I'm using fabric from Guicy Guice's new collection, plus some coordinates from my stash. Isn't this one groovy?
All the pieces for this quilt are being cut with my Accuquilt Go and 8" Qube Set.
This is a hand-dyed fabric from my stash. Super pretty. I love the way the colors flow together.
This fabric also came out of my stash. Here you can see it cut into strips, prepping to run it through the Accuquilt Go die cutter. I'm excited to see how this quilt progresses. Scrappy stash busters are always fun as every block is a surprise. What are you creating today? Leave me a comment below.
