Did you combine the wings on the birds on the top border? The red print gives so much great texture to the flowers.

How long did it take to assemble all the parts?

Hi Susan! Luv your new avatar!
The birds wings are the two red prints and the smallest wing is the red print. Working with such a limited palette does present some obstacles!
I probably have about 8 hours in the assembly process because I had to do some unsewing when I realized that 3/4 of my corner blocks were turned the wrong way!

My fabrics were starched so heavily that the assembly was really painless except for the unsewing part!

I know that month 12 is supposed to be the binding on the finished quilt, and I haven't gotten that far yet, but I have managed to assemble the parts into a whole top!

Margo, I love this red quilt, just spent several minutes pondering quilting and your colorway. Did you combine the wings on the birds on the top border? The red print gives so much great texture to the flowers.

How long did it take to assemble all the parts? i've just the embroidery on the 3rd border and have some of the fusible prep work done for border 4, so maybe by June this will be done!

My big Bertha is in the shop for a new circuit board. The tech said I could do without, but that means I'd live forever without needle down control with the foot pedal...kind of like cutting off a hand

I'm going to wait to stitch the applique on the 4th border until it's back.

It's always encouraging to know we're not alone in completing 2013.

I look forward to seeing what you do with the quilting. I hope you will post some close-ups when you do it. I did not participate in this BOM but have enjoyed seeing what everyone has done.

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	Thanks ladies for the kudos! Rita, I have no idea how to quilt this, but at the moment my long-arm is needing a house call from the HQ dealer, so I'll have some time to ponder it. At this point, I'm just glad to have it assembled so I can clean the associated clutter out of the sewing room so I can concentrate on something fresh!! Possibly Ewe and Me???

Barblln OFFLINE Posts: 127 Thank you received: 27	Margo, your quilt came together so very beautifully. I love the contrast of the center medallion, and the print you used as background is positively inspired. Makes me happy just looking at it! Barb in Alabama cats at my feet

Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	Oh Margo, that is so beautiful. I love the colour combination. It was a real marathon quilt wasn't it? Have you thought about the quilting? I still can't face mine.
