MONTH 12 -- Show Your Completed Top Here!

Be sure you include the cat story on the permanent label I urge you to make! Great job.

The Cat ate my birds.

NO this is the truth, my sweet cat, Russel Claude aka Rusty, chewed up my birds. He has never destroyed anything. I was struggling with the birds and placement. So, my cat made the design choice not to have birds in my quilt. Who knew I was living with a design cat!
Thanks, TQS for such a wonderful challenging and huge learning experience. I love my quilt even with its imperfections. I am still a newbie at this craft and sewing. I learned that I am not needle turn appliquer. But I tried. I found Karen K Buckley products helpful for me. Thank you, Sarah, for your design. Thank you, Barbara Black for all your help, without it I do not believe I could have completed this quilt.

Very pretty! I like how you changed the background fabrics

[Helen W.]

Amy, Love the black background. Mine also has a black background. Hope I will be able to put up
a picture of a finished top soon. HelenW

Carolyn, Very beautiful quilt. The red, white and blue is wonderful. I would have guessed it was
made by someone living in the USA. But it could not be more beautiful. Great job. HelenW

[AmyE]

Finally done. I changed the birds and put in flowers instead of hearts, but otherwise followed the pattern. This one was a lot of work, but I like it.

[Monique G.]

I love your colours. You obviously choose your own palette and what a striking combination.

[Carolyn H.]

Thank you Sara and Barbara, this quilt was a lot of fun.

Ready to be quilted

[Sandra Hand.]

Love the black background!!

[JANET E.]

My top is finished! I learned a lot and enjoyed the process. I'm glad I had done last years BOM first. Thank you for the adventure.

[Sandra Hand.]

I'm finished!! This was quite a challenge (which is always a good thing) and I'm happy with the final results. I wanted to make the last border look like Northern Lights around the cabins - hope that was effective. Ready now for a good press and a trip to the "spa". Thank you TQS and Barbara Black - could not have completed this without you

[Barbara B.]

Great design choices! Thanks for sharing your work.

Just wanted to share how I am approaching the quilting. I am a doodler and love the technique of putting a B&W image in a sheet protector to try out different ideas. This quilt is calling for a combo of ruler work and free motion from me. When I got to the bird border I was intimidated at first but then thought ghosting (I think that is what is called) would look lovely. I use this disappearing marking pen to set my guideline.
