The good news is all of my ridiculously small flying geese are done and the top is put together.
The bad news, when I went to started to quilt it I had a machine / tension issue which I tried to resolve myself. I got the machine back together, with only one extra screw! I hope it's not an important one. The issue came back within a short time, so my project is sadly not complete.
I loved Nancy Drew as a young girl. My friends and I read and re-read every book a billion times. My all time favorite were the originals with the blue and orange covers. Nancy was smart, independent, and fearless, which are all things I strive to be in my life. These are also qualities that we should teach all girls to be, in my opinion!

I hope to get my machine fixed asap, so I hope you all can check back and see the final product!

I love the quilt with the maze and the way the flying geese lead to the middle. I love flying geese, but not particularly to make them. I have a quilt to make from flying geese blocks and this helps to motivate me to get it done. Thanks for hopping and inspiring us. I hope you get your machine fixed so you can continue to wow us and you can get this quilt finished. The sayings from the different books are a great touch.
Love the quilt and how it is laid out. Very cute. Thanks for the fun.
I'm so impressed with your project - even if you weren't able to finish it. Look at all those flying geese! Holy Smokes! Nancy would love it!
