One more project--my first tote

This was a challenge from the CIMQG (modern quilt guild, central Illinois)--to make a circle of geese block and then use it in a project.

I made this while on retreat #3 (Feb 2012), and even though I feel as though I am just learning to paper piece, was able to teach three others to make their own "Circle of Geese" block. Margaret even made hers into the same style tote--yay!

The second photo shows a variation of the pattern, inspired by a sudden lack of background fabric... thanks to Pat for immediately seeing the alternate possibilities of the geese pattern.
