Book Depository Delivers

My UFO to work on this month was meant to be Wild and Goosey, but as I mentioned in the post about it, I was waiting for Bonnie Hunter's latest book, which I ordered from Fishpond in early September. When I wrote that post, I was waiting to hear from Fishpond when the book would be sent. However what actually happened was that when I contacted them to chase it up half-way through this month, they cancelled my order, saying the book was not available. I immediately placed an order with Book Depository (UK), and 10 days later, here it is:

Thank you, Book Depository!

Here's the page I was particularly interested in; the sashing Bonnie used for her Wild and Goosey blocks:

The challenge became how to get that printed so that I could do the paper-piecing. I don't have any easy access to a photocopier. I tried scanning the page then printing the scanned image, but this is what happened:

I couldn't find a way to control the print-out size, and this is way too big.

I thought I might just have to draw up my own (36 times) but after a bit of searching online, I found a foundation at Quilter's Cache which is the right size flying goose. It is a run of 8 instead of 7, but it is a lot easier to shorten the run than make a longer one.

This one took a couple of tries to get it to print out properly:

Too small on the left, just right on the right! So I have printed out all the runs I need, and now I just need to decide on colours.

Here's the contents page of the book:

Great idea to show pictures of the quilts! You can see Wild and Goosey on the bottom left. There are a few others I quite like, but the one on the top left (Carolina Chain) immediately appealed. It's a  really happy-looking quilt. I just had to try a couple of block segments:

I think this will be my next scrap project, after Wild and Goosey is complete.
