Chicago Geese: Trial & Error


Today's block is called Chicago Geese, and as you can see from the picture above, it gave me some difficulties. Ostensibly simple, triangles bring out my quilty worst. After making a piecing mistake and having to take some elements apart, the attempt to repiece them ended, as you can see, badly. I decided to go for that ultimate in precision: the paper pieced block. I drafted the pattern on a piece of scrap paper and we were on our way!


Now, in my opinion, the results speak for themselves. Paper piecing can be a little rough on the needle depending what you use for paper, but for my money it is the ultimate in precision. Isn't she a beaut?
