Waiting in the Wings

This Flying Geese quilt has been in the wings for over three years. I started planning it after making my first quilt, then decided to put it aside until I had a bit more piecing experience. Now at last I'm ready to take flight!

I'm calling it the Paris Match quilt- black, red, white and oatmeal, like the magazine covers from the 1930's which are on our bedroom wall. I'll add a touch of the drapeau tricolore, although I'm still looking for the right blue. 

The fabrics are a combination of cotton and cotton-linen blend, and the "wings" are a hemp-cotton blend, which Ink and Spindle use as a basecloth. I've run out of the basecloth, so I'm hoping to get my hands on some more.
