    My progress so far is to have used the secret decoder ring (The Materials Requirement List from the beginning) to sort out the fabrics.
    Roman Glass Pastel and Tiny Dots Sky for the first Lg Triangle
    Tiny Stripes Clarity and Tiny Dots Peacock for the 2ns Lg Triangle
    Tiny Stripes Misty and Dragons Breath Legendary for the 3rd Lg Triangle
    Tiny Stripes Songbird and Unicorn Poop Whimsy for the 1st Sm Triangle
    Tiny Dots Bluebell and Unicorn Poop Dew Drop for the 2nd Sm Triangle
    Dragons Breath Amethyst and Sweet Pea for the Leaves
    Paperweight Paprika for the berries
    and I am going to use Dragons Breath Matcha for the stem rather than the pictured Shire because that's the same color I used in the first triangle border.
    I'm also not going to use the Unicorn Poop colors because to me they fade into the background too much. So I will just do a full flying geese with the main colors on the small triangles (Bluebell and Songbird).

    Let the cutting begin!

      I made wavy stems for this border. I wish I had done the same thing on the inner border

        love those wavy stems. wish I had seen them before I completed mine!!

      Did anyone else get ahead of themselves on piecing the triangles? When I read it's just like month five. I was like oh I know how to do that. Well once I got the first set of 16 put together I remembered eight of them were supposed to be done opposite so I did some unsewing but I'm back on track!

          barbel.sch Your extra out side border looks like the pattern was design that way.
          Your quilt is beautiful. Wish I had a longarm machine. HelenW

        My fabrics were heavily starched before I cut them out and there is fullness now that will easily be blocked out when the top is completed. I didn’t care for the hearts in the center of these borders, so I just added a few more circles instead.

          Margo, Great idea for replacing the hearts. How do you block out the fullness? HelenW

        Not sure if it is ok to post this but if you don’t feel like making the bias stems Etsy shop VintageDoor sells green fusible bias tape at the perfect width for $2.25 a yard. Delivery is really fast.

              I finally got around to taking the photo! I've been done with this month for about a week or so but didn't feel like sweeping the floor to take the photo. Knowing that the heart I put in the center was fatter, I pushed the pink and purple leaves closer to the edge. Since I adjusted those, I also made an adjustment on the end ones as well. I am so looking forward to all the piecing in the next two months. I remembered why I don't do a whole lot of applique while working on this quilt. It's just not my favorite thing to do.

                Ok! Month 10 is finished - now on to making teeny tiny cabins! Oh and I forgot to mention, on the birds, I had some little black buttons I used for the eyes and some heart shaped buttons for the hearts.

                  It seems I'm always a week or two behind everyone on this project. I was just wondering if anyone know what the size of the quilt top should be at this point?

                    At the end of each month's pattern it tells you what size the quilt should be to that point.
