They are the baby Flying Geese that I made using the replacement <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/40gsdXk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wing Clipper<\/a>** I got for Christmas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is the first group of lavender I have added to the quilt. In the photo they look nice. We&#8217;ll see how they look combined with the other colors. Fingers crossed it will be ok.<\/p>\n<p>I got going on the QSTs. One of the clues said to combine them with another couple of pieces, so it was time to stop avoiding them.<\/p>\n<p>I was really happy using <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4a8M8vV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bonnie Hunter&#8217;s Essential Triangle Tool<\/a>** to make them. It is a ruler I have had for awhile, but haven&#8217;t used much. I found it easy to use and helpful. I just followed Bonnie&#8217;s instructions on the clue and it worked perfectly. Well, so far, it is has worked perfectly. I liked the way she said where to put the ruler lines. I haven&#8217;t finished sewing the QSTs yet, so I&#8217;ll have to wait and see how it works out.<\/p>\n<p>Bonnie put the <a href=\"https:\/\/quiltville.blogspot.com\/p\/old-town-mystery.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reveal<\/a> up and it is a complicated looking quilt, but also cool. I am eager to see how my replacement of coral with lavender will look. If you are working on it, make sure to download your clues.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>**N.
