Another Old Quilt Project..

I should say, "Old Quilt Projects"...   I was curious if I still had a good amount of flying geese squares from a baby quilt I obviously never finished. I knew I had at least 72. But, for some reason I thought I had given most of them away.  Well I dug through my old sewing bins (so unorganized), and I found them ALL!! 82 of them (not 72). I was so happy!   I had started this (I think?) for my cousins' baby. (Who is now about 30 years old.)  WHY did I start my first quilt with flying geese? Lol...  I don't know. (I obviously didn't know much about quilting then..)  I think I realized I would have to make a LOT of these, and it would take forever. And started something else.  I know I've posted about these squares a couple times. I think I did give some away. (So, I had even more than this.)

All this fabric to go with the quilt...  

I think this is the quilt I ended up making instead of the flying geese one.  I wish I had taken a picture of it!! (I didn't even have a computer back then... Maybe I didn't have a camera, either.)

Anyway. These are some more squares. I have no idea what these were for.

 A more organized pile of all the fabric cut out in squares and rectangles...   I am thinking I might do a variation of the flying geese quilt. I will have to decide on colors for the sashing. If I get a square done, I'll post it.  

The Baby Quilt Is Finished

Sigh...  Well it is finished. But. I was doing the lint roller on the back, and I noticed a safety pin I forgot to take out. So I turned it over, and there was no pin. 😳   UGGGHHHH.... It's a pin that somehow got in between the layers. So, thank God I didn't quilt it, and only tied it!! I will see if I can undo the hand binding and get it out.  

 A closer-up view. The green border has white polka dots, I don't know if you can see...  And the back is a different light green.  I am in love with this little quilt.  😍  I can't believe I did it. It boosted my confidence to try and quilt more.    It's for a baby who was born premature on Pine Ridge Reservation. Aiden.  For a group I am in.     

Now to finish the baby quilt I started when I was pregnant with Eon. 😂  (Second picture.)

Baby Quilt

I can't believe I got this far. Since it's taken me about 18 years to work on the one I started for Eon...  I had some five inch squares cut out for a tote bag (which I was going to try to sew into a diaper bag). I tried to match the two sides of the tote bag, and add squares to make a quilt top. But I don't have enough of the remaining fabric to make more squares to match. But, I did have about 20 something other squares cut out. And I watched a YouTube video about using "charm packs" (pre cut five inch squares) and chain piecing them...  (Missouri Star Quilts video.)  And I finished the quilt top in ONE day. (Four hours to be exact.) Then I sewed the two borders on.  And, it's been sitting. I am really afraid to quilt it. But I want to try today.  I've been "trying" all week, to sew.  But I am going to tell everyone I'm not going anywhere. I'm taking a sewing sabbatical.  😂       Somewhat related to this quilt (since this is why I started this quilt to begin with..), it was going to be for a baby that was born premature. The family has been going through hardships and lost their mother (not the mother of the baby)...  On Pine Ridge Reservation.  I sent two boxes of things already.  It seems like no one cares.  And, someone already sent a baby quilt for this baby. Soooo, I don't know what I will do with this quilt.
