New projects on the way

Urban Owls


This pattern is by Wendy Williams and it is called Urban Owls. I am making as a challenge with some of my Bee friends. 

I am using needle turn applique and some prepared turned under seams with glue. It is a challenge to myself to learn more techniques.

I have also modified a few things to make it my own quilt. The lower first border (green circle fabrics), is larger than the original pattern. I was thinking of green grass full of dandelions.

The 8 point stars are supposed to be of 2 different patterns (3 of each pattern). But this quilt is so busy, that I decided that all 6 being of the same pattern is OK. 

I will trim the blocks just before attaching to the center. I  still need to make the blocks that you see missing here.
