    I wait until the quilt is completely finished, quilted, and bound. Then I wash on gentle cycle and dry in the dryer on low heat until almost dry, Then I lay it out flat to allow it to fully dry. I would not wash just the top.

    These photos show portions of the borders I added to make the GPDU quilt larger. Your advice was good Barbara. I read that you are supposed to wash the top to get the Fuse Light out but have never just washed a top before. In the summer would soak and then lay out on a sheet on the grass but how would you dry now without making a mess?

    I need to shop for either a big enough piece for this border, the tiel. Or another choice. This fab was cut up for the house, but I changed my mind & went w/red. Not enough to sew them together for the border.

    Hi, I finally got started...my house is done. I did paper piecing, except I didn't use freezer paper...I used typing paper, & folded the seams so I never sewed on the paper. I know I did it wrong, but so far it's OK.

    My first month is completed! It's been a great learning experience- a lot of work, and a lot of fabric decisions. I have struggled with the inside points and the tiny berries but they were much easier with practice. Everything is hand appliqué except for the seams on the borders.

    I used leftover PNPFL to draw full shapes for those not complete on the printout.

    That is ambitious. GPDU Month 1 is a lot of work. HB is much less each month. Enjoy!

    I re-joined The Quilt Show during the holidays late last year and as Alex recommended, I downloaded the garden party pattern- but I wanted to get started on this year's BOM. What to do? Well, I have lots of fabric (but went shopping for more for good measure) and so in January I started both Garden Party BOM and Homeward Bound BOM! I am not quite done on the first month of Garden Party but plan on posting when finished. I just have the vase, the top left flower and the border to do, Shouldn't take too long...

    Thank you Barbara; I have been watching the videos and you are such a good teacher. What I don't understand is when the flowers and leaves overlap how do I cut the print and fuse? Do I just not worry about the corner of the leaf and cut the flower out? I am looking at month 1

    [QUOTE=Grma46;n895187]I am finally ready to start this kit, which is really intimidating. I have in many ways regretted buying the kit, but I did and I need to learn the techniques. It seems crazy to ask, but after you print the page on the print and fuse, do you cut each shape out and then iron it on the fabric? And then turn the edges under with the appliquick tools? I have never used this before.[/QUOTE]

    I have written detailed blog posts for each month. Find them here, there are 3 for Month 1:

    Linda R. You did a nice job of finishing with borders of your own. Love the flying geese. It makes a
    great wall hanging. HelenW
