Crumb Along - First Blocks

The Crumb Along over at Jo's Country Junction got started in earnest today.  Jo showed us how to make the first of our blocks.  The tutorial was clear and very easy to follow.  Thanks Jo!  I am already looking forward to the next block.

All I can say is that it is not easy being "crumb-ly".  It was so hard for me to sew all of those different types of seams and not try to get the flying geese just perfect.  Here are the results of my first attempt.

  4. I, too, had a hard time not wanting to straighten those geese - in fact I even took one apart - LOL. I'll try to be more spontaneous next week.

  5. You spend so much time perfecting the piecing....but I am enjoying trying to let go! Loved your blocks, especially that wedge of a mountain tip directing the geese to the left.
