I am constantly amazed by what inspires me  – where ideas and colour combinations for a quilt come from.   This week’s work in progress is a good case in point.

This bright scrap quilt was inspired by my local petrol/gas station logo.

Strange I know, but I was filling the car up one day and realized I really love these two colours together.  I promptly came home and pulled some scraps and made up this block.

I originally posted about this flying geese pattern back in April this year.  You can find the original post, with a free paper piecing pattern here.  A couple of months later and I got the urge to finish this quilt top, so I pulled fabric from my stash as well as from my scrap pile and started work.

Now I have a stack of blocks and I am gradually putting the top together.

My placement is random and fun and I have thrown in a couple of reverse blocks to break things up.  It is kind of fun making the arrows go all over the place.

I have also been thinking of making some yellow arrows with yellow background, but I am not sure about it.  Any thoughts?
