I have worked hard to get month 9 completed before I head off on holiday for a couple of weeks. The birds are eyeless as I am still deciding whether to try the tiny circle or maybe use a button or sequin. It can wait. Looking forward to doing some piecing next month.

Done !
This round was quite a lot of work
Mostly fun as well as a little bit tricky. I also had to try a while to find the right position of the birds. And I decided to use little buttons for the birds eyes.
Finally I'm very pleased with the result and I'm looking foreward to next month.Quilting forever, Housework whenever!Comment

This was a challenging month. Lots and lots of leaves. The placement of all the parts was a challenge and then appliqueing the birds, vines and final leaves on the side borders after sewing the borders on was interesting. I used 2 of the specialty stitches on my machine to make the doves eyes and heart. I sewed them on the doves before appliqueing them on the border. I liked the way that turned out. I am looking forward to the piecing we will do next month!Comment

I have a bird pinned on, but I'm not really liking it. i'm watching the forum to see if people are putting something else in that spot. Any ideas? This bird wasn't fun to prep.Comment

I can't see any stitching on your applique. Totally invisible and the edges are so perfectly turned. Looks like you been doing
this for a number of years.Love your quilt. HelenWHelenWComment

Thanks Helen! We went to Hawaii during summer and saw Red-crested Cardinal birds everywhere so decided to add them into my dream garden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-crested_cardinal
I’m new to appliqué, tried needle turned appliqué several times but couldn’t get it to look good. This is all turned-edge machine appliqué after reading Barbara’s blog and watching Alex’s video, they are super helpful.

I think the hardest thing I contend with in this pattern is the applique. I’m a big appliquer but I want the flowers etc to look like flowers.lol. It’s been a challenge for me to do the opposite.
