...except I think it wants more black space between the original strip in the middle and the QST strip - seems unbalanced there, particularly as there is a black strip between the centre and the pineapples to the left - so I think I will unpick it and add a narrow black strip all the way down to help space it out a bit...
I'm very pleased with how the flying geese came out - not as difficult as I'd feared doing the curved ones, though I think I'm glad I was hand-sewing them, rather than trying to sort all those pins on the machine. I did use a lot of pins!
I'm not trying to be an overacheiver, particularly (this was the September round, and I know it's only the 4th), but it's to be a Christmas present for my mum and I want to leave it with her when we visit in Oct/Nov, so I need to get it quilted before we leave. Not sure what I will do yet - may try hand quilting it in black, fairly large stitches (to disguise the fact that I can't do small stitches!). I'm sure you'll see it as it comes along.

Kate, the geese are fantastic! When you insert that thin strip, it will be perfect. Can't wait to see how you quilt it.
yeah, I can't wait to see that either! I'm thinking large black stitches at the moment, maybe a little trapunto? But I haven't really decided yet. Must really make a decision soon...
