Indecision is my forte ... my husband knows this well. If he asks me to choose between two things I always say "both". Trust me, it maybe a more expensive route - but it's definitely the quickest!

So how does one choose between a zillion fabulous designs and ideas out there to be the epicentre of what is sure to be an amazing quilt?
As time is not on my side I used Eeny-Meeny-Miny-Mo ... {rocket science does not live here}... but paper piecing does! It just so happens that my PP mojo has decided to come home! I didn't waste time asking it where it had been, or who it had been with - I just cleaned it up and set it to work.
Ah, yes, it's like it never left ...
Pattern used is this one - seriously, the pattern is pure genius.
Block size is 12" square
Fabrics used for Geese are scraps of AMH and background fabric is Timeless Treasures, Rain Basics, Mist colourway.
This block is off to Carla to work her 'magic' on the first border - exciting!!!
I've added a tab at the top of my page to track our Possum Magic Quilts so you, and I, can watch them grow on their year long adventure.
