Week 4 of the Moda Sampler Shuffle

For some reason a very nice quilting blog website posted the blocks for week #4 very early.  Usually this nice website posts the new blocks on Friday, but for some reason they posted on Wednesday. It worked out perfectly for me because now I had something to do on a holiday when there are few stores and restaurants open.
This week's blocks were easier.  But I think that my fabric choices for the railroad prints were too busy to combine. Oh well, it's staying that way!
I did enjoy the bright colors I had on hand for these blocks.  I've always enjoyed working with bright colors. Something about them is positive and happy!  Right now I need that.
Now back to work making more "flying geese" for the border.  There are 132 total flying geese for the border, according to the completed quilt instructions.  I have about 50 finished.  There's a very easy "no waste" method for flying geese, and this method allows you to make 4 at a time!  Once you get the hang of it the process goes very quickly.
So if anyone is counting, there are 15 out of 30 completed blocks so far. Half way there!!  This "challenge" goes through the first part of January in which all 30 sampler blocks should be completed.  Then the challenge will be putting the quilt top together!
