Carriem - thank you for your kind words. I feel that appliqué is one of my weakist areas so you (and everyone else) saying that it looks nice means a lot to me.

Emma - thank you and howdy fellow Oregonian! Roseburg is a bit of a distance for me but if I'm ever in the area I'll try to give you a heads up and maybe we can meet up for coffee or something, or vice versa. I've dabbled a little bit in FM, but the extent of my experience is stippling and 2 feather circle pot holders. I'm getting the idea that I'm going to have to start some new projects to practice FM so that I can finish this one.. Lol anyone eles's UFO warning bells going off? Thank you for yours and everyone else's encouragement. I know with it we all will get it done...eventually.

nena - thanks and I'm sure it was still a lovely quilt.

Michelle - thank you for your kind words, you and all the others on this thread inspired me to finish up the top after I read through your posts.

nanna-up-north - thank you for your words and noticing some of the technique things. It makes me feel good that you think I did good b/c from what I've seen on this thread I really admire your work as a quilter.

Thank you all again for your kind words and for stroking my ego, my head is now roughly the size of a watermelon!! Lol. Being a self taught quilter (no quilting classes of any sort to date) your recognition and praise goes a long way here for my self confidence. Hopefully I'll get this thing finished before it turned a year old in october...lol...

Hope all is well with you guys and happy quilting!!

Quiltology: Great job.

I had this quilt waiting to be finished for several months. It was even pinned and waiting to be quilted. I'm still new with machine quilting but I am really liking a serpentine stitch for the quilting part. I brought the back around to the front. The white squares and white with blue rabbit squares were sewn together by someone else for a Minnesota organization. I added the borders to make it large enough for the organization's suggested size.

Great finish, Connie.

Ding Ding Ding!!!!! Great job on that one! I love the owl border and the wave quilting is really cool too! All in all I think that it turned out great, and that who ever it goes to will treasure it.

Very cute, Connie. I love it that so many of you do quilts for such great causes. I really need to do that once I get the quilts done that I've promised people. And I want to start the Little Brown Bird. But, I could think about doing something for some group. My daughter is a midwife and I've done some crochet blankets for her unit. I could do some quilts, too.

Little Brown Bird? Okay, now I guess I'll have to go look that up!

Another UFO quilt top off of my list. I have had the boxes of cut squares from my church charity group for a few years so I am slowly going through the boxes. These are 7 inch squares and the group specifies the number of squares. I added the border because I did one less column. The group will finish the quilt and donate it.

Another UFO completed, this is a king size Irish Chain. I am so excited and I am still on track to finish all my quilts this year. Of course I need to stop making new tops. Thanks everyone for the continued support, this group is great.

Wow, that's gorgeous. Love Irish Chains, they always look so modern. Congrats on the finish and staying on schedule.

retiredteacher09- Another great finish.... toot ... toot... tooting the horn for you. And I love that you donate so many to such good causes. Way to go!!

jwardknits- I love your Irish chain.... they have always been a favorite of mine. Yours turned out fantastic. And getting close to being done with the UFOs.... that's pretty good, too. On to the next one, right?
