Beautiful, love this block and the quilting is so cute too.

Looks great, I love the quilting, it adds a lot!

brod71 11-04-2013 07:07 AM

I love this idea! Great job!

MargeD 11-04-2013 07:29 AM

It's very pretty and I like the quilting that you did on it. I also like your bottom comment - I know I'll never see mine perfectly clean, if it was my DH would probably say "Who are you and what have you done with my wife?" LOL

Very pretty - great idea!

tessagin 11-04-2013 07:40 AM

It's gorgeous!

cpcarolyn 11-04-2013 07:46 AM

Very nice.

What a neat idea! The hanging is beautiful. Do they get bleached out by the sun? I live in FL and the sun shines on the front door pretty brightly from early to mid morning. Would love to try it though. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful addition to your door. Lovely work.

Love your quilt! It looks fantastic! And the idea of doing one for each month is great.

patti01 11-04-2013 11:05 AM

How did you attach this to your door?

Auntie Em 11-04-2013 01:20 PM

September: Apples

All the lady residents love (the men don't think to much about them). HA HA ! ! !

Those sound perfect! Maybe those guys needs a June - Fathers Day!

For August, I'm thinking of using the panel left from my 'in the house' August hanging:
(maybe some of the men would like them)

Funny (to me) story: Last Dec, my son had something big delivered by a truck. I thought the driver left, and then I heard the front doorbell. We had a nice chat, seemed he wanted to buy a wreath like the one on the door, after he heard I made it. I told him I just couldn't make one for this year, but he could buy the one on the door, and he did!
Then he asked, how about next year, I'd like 2 more. Ok, I can do that, and he gave me his email addy to let him know when they were finished. Then I got to thinking, I didn't design these, I don't feel right making him more for money (the first one, to me, was kind of like something you buy at a garage sale, secondhand)
So I made 2 more, and figured if he made the check out to a charity, I could sleep at night. Wouldn't you know, I have the wreaths, complete with the wood slat, but I can't find the email addy anywhere!

lesson: careful if you hang something on your door, you may get talked into selling it!

This goes up in Dec:

I did, got it as a free pattern from somewhere online. I've tried to find it, but can't. It was the center of a larger wall hanging, with a bunch of triangles in the border.
It's just 4 maple leaves, and I bought the stencil for the quilting either at Joanns or Hancock's

No, this faces north.
I have a spot on the back porch that I really couldn't hand anything quilty. It gets direct morning sun, and I know it wouldn't last more than a year

redquilter 11-04-2013 07:28 PM

Oooh - that's very pretty. Would look nice on MY front door!

Scakes 11-04-2013 07:39 PM

Lovely idea and very pretty work! thank you for sharing.

Beach 11-04-2013 08:21 PM

Did you have a pattern for the wreath?

raspberryparade09 11-04-2013 08:23 PM

Very pretty colors!

ccthomas 11-04-2013 09:07 PM

This would work nice for family members bedroom doors to personalize and bring cheer. Thanks for sharing.

JoanneS 11-05-2013 01:31 PM

Your wreath is beautiful.I'm planning to make table toppers for the seasons (not ready to make 1-a-month LOL). Maybe I'll make a matching wreath for the front door. Your suggestion for using a magnet to hang it solves my problem - I also have a heavy metal screen door. I have lots of 1 inch magnets with hooks - maybe they'll work - worth a try!

THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS!

DJ 11-05-2013 01:46 PM

That's great. Better than a barn quilt . . . especially if you don't have a barn. LOL

solstice3 11-05-2013 03:23 PM

What a lovely idea

shirleyd 11-05-2013 06:57 PM

Beautiful and what a great idea. I hope you get one for each month!:thumbup:

FroggyinTexas 11-05-2013 07:14 PM

Since I don't have barn to put quilt blocks on, I am making one for each month and hanging it inside my glass storm door on a small curtain rod held up by suction cups. It is fun to see them from the street and when I come up my front walk. Your block is awesome froggyintexas

ladypetite 11-05-2013 07:48 PM

I love this door wreath!

BCM 11-06-2013 05:12 AM

What a great idea!

daisydebby 11-06-2013 06:02 AM

Very attractive:) I believe you've inspired many a quilter with this project.

RugosaB 11-06-2013 09:45 AM

I found the pattern I use for the autumn wreath (with changes for my situation)
www.burmannstudios.com

I happened across the pattern for the Christmas wreath also. I bought it about 10 years ago, but here's the info on the envelope:
I got it at the Door Mouse http://www.thedoormouse.com
The blocks say @Quilt Directions 1997 I guess it was more than 10 years ago!

Now you know as much as I do
