Quilt Shot Block 142~ Friendship Among Flying Geese

 

"Friendship Among Flying Geese"

16 inch square

for a future group QOV Quilt

 

Remember back on the QOV National Sew Day, Feb 12?

We were given a packet for 2 blocks.

One included four 10 inch squares to make 16 HSTs,

which you then take the HSTs to make any design you like. 

I wonder if someone has calculated the number of 16 HST designs possible?

Yes, I corrected the mistake above. 

We haven't made up the canceled Sew Day meet yet.

I did find out that several packets are yet to be made,

so I picked up a couple more.

This is one.

 

I came across this Friendship Star looking design actually made entirely of half square triangles instead of Flying Geese. 

Our Quilt Guild theme for this year's quilt show is Friendship.

I thought this fit.

I know today people are renaming old quilt blocks by giving names to the quilt.

I like to keep history and thus keep the original name of the block if I know or can find the name.

I can't find a name for this one so I'm naming it,

Friendship (for the star in the middle) Among Flying Geese.

If you know the original name,

I'd love for you to let me know. 

*************************************

 

I used the "combine" tool in  PhotoScape (free software)

to make these 4x4 quilt layouts.

You have to have a square on shot which I cropped to the seam line.

 

(no change if block is rotated)

I did make another HST block and will post next week,

and 2 more Floating Churn Dash.

If I have time before our reset Sew Day in a couple of weeks,

I'll get some more.
