Quilt top done! for twin-sized spring version of Aspen Glow pattern

Despite lots of things to get done for work over the break, I managed to have a couple of evenings of quilt-sewing binge and the twin-sized Aspen Glow quilt top is done!


As you might be able to tell, it's not very spring-like here right now.  We had 6-8 inches of wet, heavy snow on Wednesday, right before Thanksgiving.

Yay! Finished with E blocks for Spring version

Finally, the last blocks for the Spring version of the Aspen Glow quilt are done!:

I am looking forward to starting to piece the larger blocks together.  I really don't know how this quilt will look when I'm done. It is going to be scrappier than the original pattern, because I used a fat eighth bundle for this one.
I've never made flying geese before.  I like how they look when I chain piece them. I don't like the trimming involved with these blocks, but it seems necessary to keep from getting too wonky.
