I though this block was Crosses and Losses, but that's a different layout.
Mereth informs me that this is Fox and Geese, so that's what I'm calling it.
I haven't made many more blocks, I'm up to 6 completed now, but I did so much cutting and sewing over several nights that I kitted 28 blocks, probably more than I actually need, but I do love to have a few extras when I lay out the blocks.
I made all the HSTs in a couple of marathon sewing sessions, and kitted the pieces for each block in a plastic bag.
The framing strips are cut and waiting, but I will have to wait for the final layout before I decide on a sashing fabric. The original is muslin, but I may see if I can find a very pale toile or something. It will give me something to hunt for in the patchwork shops.
So that's another old, old project well on the way to a finish. I think I've used my fortnight at home very well.
I anticipate another beauty with this start! Grow, seeds of a quilt!
