Month 9 is finally done! I changed the bird to the kind I like, interesting process but lots of fun

Your center block with the heart is sweet!

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.

I did a search for a different, smaller bird. I'm not home for a few more days, so I can't post a picture

Hi Amy, You have a really fun looking quilt. This picture is a Wendy William's pattern. Maybe a cute little fun bird would look
good. HelenW

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!

Love this pattern and doing my own changes!

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.

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.

Looks fabulous!

Looks wonderful!

I have made some adjustments to fit my capabilities. I think it looks pretty good.

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.

What you have complete is gorgeous!
