the bazillion pieces

A finished quilt top!
It's not even pressed yet - I was so excited to show it all put together!
I fell in love with this quilt as soon as I saw it's cover girl picture.
But, I didn't realize how small the quilt would finish -

at  just under 36 inches square!!

Let me introduce to you 

Civil Unrest:

by Mary Etherington & Connie Tesene*

of Country Threads fame;

from this book by Patchwork Place:

See? Cover girl!

I love the scrappiness - so many great colors.
I love the flying geese -
all those sharp, little points
and the movement they create when lined up in orderly rows.
Did I mention that there are

216 flying geese?!

 

Yes, 216 little geese blocks -

with each goose unit

finishing at

1 by 2 inches!!

and each little nine-patch measures 3 x 3 inches.

(I put a penny in the center of the blue block to show the scale.)

I've been working on this quilt-y project for quite a while.
Talk about unrest. :)
Many, many, tiny pieces -
         over 1,100  a BAzillion, I'm telling you.

But totally worth it. :)

Happy Stitching Thursday!
