Left, Right, Left (Half Geese Units)

When sewing the half geese units for this month's assignment of Cheryl's Magnolia Mystery Quilt, for some reason I thought about the marching cadence, "Left, right, left, " and couldn't get it out of my head.

I was mainly concerned about sewing the correct amount of units, 36 left facing geese and 36 right facing geese units.

After counting out the correct number, I chained sewed the units all at once.  Here they are behind the needle.

 And here are half geese units pressed and ready to go.

I'm certain this is not the layout, but I put a few up on the design wall.

Until the next instructions are released on November 2nd, I'm all set!

Magnolia Mystery Progress

For Main Crush Monday I thought I would share my progress on Magnolia Mystery sponsored by Cheryl at Meadow Mist Designs.  That's a  lot of M's for one sentence.

I challenged myself to shop my stash for all of the fabrics and I did.  I only had enough yardage of one batik, the green, which will be the background (Fabric D).

The two lighter batiks will be Fabrics A and B with the spotted one being Fabric A.  I wanted to reverse these and make the spots Fabric B but there wasn't enough.  I just realized I didn't include Fabric C in my photographs but I've chosen a brown, another batik, as Fabric C.  I'll show it next time.

So far we've cut the half-square triangles and I have a pile of trimming to show for it.

And, here are the finished half-square triangles (HSTs) all trimmed and neatly stacked.

So far so good as the next round of instructions comes out this Thursday, October 5th.  Excited to have kept up to this point I'm linking to Beth at Cooking Up Quilts for MCM #90.
