A skill builder for me!



A good blogging friend, Sharon from Vroomans Quilts, sent me this little pattern that she was finished with.. ( and such a cute Butterfly card too!!)

It is a Schnibbles pattern, and all Flying Geese!  Yikes!
I just tried pinwheels a few weeks ago, to send some blocks to another blogging friend. They were actually OK, so I thought I would give this a try!
I made some out of scraps first, just to try them out....

The pattern had pretty good instructions. The only problem I have is that the measurements get as exact as 7/8"....I am pretty good with 1/4", but when it comes down to 1/8" exactness, I think I will be a little bit challenged.

But, I think this might work after all, I will keep working on these!!  This is going to be a long term project I think!

That is my 15 minutes of play for today so I am going to link up to Marcia'a Minutes for Me Party!
