Look what showed up from my sewing machine!
After agreeing to make eleventy million flying geese and other parts and pieces, it was hard to say no to sewing a few seams here and there. Especially ones that did not require any points to match, and I could just trim everything to size.
Some binding strips? Sure, bring it on.
I cut the big squares for the flying geese a quarter inch too big, which made them too short and too wide, chopping off the points, and the colors were reversed so I couldn't use them for Ringo Lake. I decided to make something to help motivate me to sew those eleventy million flying geese. Someone made a smaller quilt and called it Ringo Puddle, and I like the name, so this one is Pointless Puddle. I'm not sure if it will be a pillow or a wall hanging. Right now, I am thinking a wall hanging that can double as a pillow cover.
I mitered the corners by making half square triangles.

Oh I love this!!!!!!!! What a happy little quilt!!!
Love the name! Great way to make the best of a mistake. It would be a great pillow to go on the bed with On Ringo Lake.
This is fantastic! What a great quilt made up of "mistakes". It is sure a lesson in not worrying when things don't go as planned.
