    Helen - thank you so much for your kind words! I know a forum or a group is only as good as its members. I try to contribute because I have found help from members who post. You always have good comments for all of us.
    This was my first TQS BOM. I don't plan on participating next year. I want to get back to piecing, and using up scraps!

    Finally the top is done. May fix the bird on the left top side or not. Month 11 and 12 were easy to do.

    Carol G. You have been a complete joy to have making comments and enjoying the whole year of
    stitching. Your quilt turned out wonderful. It is the colors you used made a very busy quilt look peaceful. I especially like your blues, yellows and purples. Great job. Looking forward to next year.
    That pattern looks like your style since you really liked this one. I will probably go off in my own
    direction again. I like the pieced blocks and center, I am a little tired of flowers. I am thinking
    maybe using butterfly blocks or bird blocks for the second ring of blocks. What ever I do. it will be
    fun. I still have my houses and logs to do for this year. HelenW

    Used all my own fabrics, except for background. Didn’t do anything for 3 months and really worked hard the last 3 months to get it finished. I don’t have a wall large enough to display if for a photo and I couldn’t get the new picture uploaded!

    quilt top is done! I am going to custom quilt it on my Bernina Q24. The green fabric will be my backing.

    This is the most complex quilt I have ever made and I am thrilled with it!!! Barbara’s blog helped immensely as did everyone who shared their struggles, tips & successes on the forum. This was my 1st TQS BOM even though I’ve been a member for a few years. The colors & geometric design appealed to me. Plus, I retired in 2022, so I knew I'd have time. I didn’t buy the kit, mostly used my own stash except for the background fabric.
    It was a challenge at times. I made smaller, easier birds. I made sure to trim my colored strips on the last border to the 9.5”, they were all too long by at least ¼”. The next to last borders were too long, so I took them apart at the leaf block & shortened. Pat Sloan said on a recent video that unsewing is part of the quilting process, so I keep that in mind now LOL
    Whoever decided to release months 11 & 12 together, thank you!

    Here is my finished quilt top. I have enjoyed making it, been challenged along the way but so pleased with end result. It now has to join a queue for quilting.

    This proves a quilt doesn't have to be Custom quilted to be lovely and useful.

    This was WAY out of my color comfort zone, and there are LOTS of mistakes that I didn’t bother to correct, but in my book, “finished is better than perfect”, and I’m glad that it is done!

    Thank you ladies for posting your finishes. I am enlarging them & it is helping me get the stars straight in my head as I get to that point.
