McKenna Ryan patterns
#12
I am working on her older owl patterns, they take time but are not what I call hard . A mini iron and an applique pressing sheet is a must for me . I do not care for pastels so I am using my own color choices in batiks and I am happy with the results.

Hi all, I have made hundreds of McKenna's quilts. I have a license to make and market her quilts. The fabrics she choices are perfect! So, if you can get a kit it is well worth the price. Yes, there is a lot of cutting and fusing, but well worth the effort. Take your time, enjoy the process and get a thrill out of watching your quilt come together. Peggy

This is a great question. FMQ around each piece BEFORE you put the blocks together. I say this because I DID NOT do this and wish I had. I did the stitching before I put the two large pieces together. I also used monofilament thread. All of these pieces had to be stitched down before my longarm lady would quilt the quilt. My quilt is hanging over the stairs at the landing out of the direct sun light.

I'm glad to see this thread....I signed up for the Wind in the Whiskers BOM and haven't started yet. I've received 3 blocks so far...I think I need someone to come visit and work on this with me!!!
Forgot to mention I am getting the full kit for each block so I know it'll all look good in the end...I'm just terrified to start.

I've never heard of her and I know why. I would probably never look at anything of hers because of the size of the pieces. But, gosh, you guys have shown me the way. These are beautiful, whimsical and just too cute. Now I'll have to check her out.
