Three orange X-Marks-the-Block blocks (cut from the strata) . . .
(Teresa's tutorial is linked in my sidebar)
Nine month's worth of blocks on the design wall --
I've been calling this quilt-to-be Happy Happy Joy Joy.
Every time I pull out these blocks,
their power simply takes my breath away.
Also cut from strata, this month's batch of scrappy flying geese.
The Eclectic Goose will not be laid out like this,
but I see a LOT of possibilities!
(Inspiration idea from the River Trees pattern in an old issue of The Quilt Life)

Those quilts will be wonderful when they are put together. The first one looks absolutely amazing!
Happy, happy! Joy, joy! just makes you smile - all those beautiful colours rippling down the wall! And the flying geese make good use of the left over bits. Great work!
I don't know which project I like best. Both are going to be awesome!
Wow!!! What a great pattern and a great use for strings!!! LOVE it! Thanks for the inspiration. I also love that you paired it with black/white prints. Awesome.
I am always happy and overjoyed to see your progress on Happy Happy Joy Joy. And for the rest of the day I'm going to be making a spreadsheet so I can keep track of all of your rainbow projects.
it makes me happy too!
Your happy happy joy joy quilt is spectacular!
I am enjoying watching these projects come together! WOW!
It certainly looks like happy, happy, joy, joy! Will be a very happy quilt. Amazing what you get out of those strata.
It's more like a party! Love the last arrangement of geese!
I too love seeing these projects....just inspirational...
Signed up as a follower - can't wait to see more. I especially love the orange geese on the blue background. Love that color combo.

I just love what you've done with your X Marks the Block, the black and white really set your colours off, I see one of these in my future.
Oh my goodness... those blocks do have a lot of energy! My eyes were bolting all over the place looking at them! SO FUN!
Both of these projects are so full of energy and inspiration! Thanks for giving me ideas to contemplate!

x marks the block alright! Joy joy! So exciting to see them up on the wall together makes me want to do them!! LeeAnna at not afraid of color
Your Happy Happy, Joy Joy is looking even more alluring with the orange added, the whole quilt just sparkles and I'm looking forward to seeing Eclectic Goose when you have the final layout.
Love it!
Oh my gosh Julie - I sure do see what you mean about the POWER of these blocks!!! I'm definitely going to have to make some of those - they inspire me every time I see them on your blog :)
WOW THESE TWO PROJECTS ARE GREAT.
I feel the power too! I like yours better than the one in Teresa's tutorial. That b/w just makes it outstanding.
These blocks are looking good!
