I'm blaming this project on Shasta of High Road Quilter. She calls them butterfly wreaths and as she says, they are addicting. The blocks are small so this one could take a while to finish. I'll stop making them when I run out of the background fabric.
On another blog, someone had staggered piles of flying geese blocks. I really liked the look. I toyed with this layout for about a minute...
But this was the look I was originally drawn to and this is kinda sorta the plan, lots of trapezoids with a flying geese thrown in periodically.
It won't take long to finish this quilt since the trapezoids are 2 x 8 finished and the geese are 4 x 8 finished. I have a lot of the background fabric so I may make a couple of quilts like this one.
Hopefully the three scrap projects will make a little bit of a dent in my scrap bin.
New blocks were revealed on March 1 and I've finished both. Kathleen Tracy's mystery:
And the Threadology quilt along:
I've determined that if I want to make a quilt similar to Melissa Corry's, I need to make two of the large blocks - I'll spend this week making them. It will be more like a day making them, so far the blocks are large and very easy.

Your butterfly wreaths are great! I am quilting mine now! I really like the look of those trapezoids and flying geese. I haven't seen that before. Lots of fun things happening on your blog today. I still haven't started Kathleen's mystery, but so far I like all the blocks!
You are doing some fun sewing there! I think the rain may be our friend keeping us inside to sew :-)
Boy, I don't know which I like best...they are all going to be beautiful.
