swoon. simplified
I made my first swoon block (lordy, they are big) and of course, I went and changed the pattern a little. In the pattern it tells you to piece the (orange) pieces. I don't like seeing a lot of unnecessary seams, so I made them into one piece. Also, I used a different method for making the flying geese to reduce waste there. I still ended up with waste overall, but I think it was reduced a little with this method. Now that this practice block is done, I can get the others figured out easier.
