I love this quilt!!
 |
| Jan - Carol's Snow Star |
Each month I made the blocks in duplicate so that I could accrue a complete set of my own to make a 2010 quilt.
 |
| Feb - Hearts Card Trick |
At the end of the year, I fiddled around to design a layout that would enable others who had done the same thing to create a cohesive top.
 |
| Mar - Magic Circle |
I purposefully chose a sashing that was simple enough for beginners while also allowing for unifying color play for the whole.
 |
| Apr - Dutchman's Windmill |
I had Patty Butcher do the custom quilting for me on her longarm, but I had a lot of fun planning out exactly
how I wanted each block done.
 |
| May - Rosebuds |
I made life-size templates for each one, meticulously drawing the design out.
 |
| Jun - Steps to the Altar variation |
Poor Patty cringed when I brought them all in!!
 |
| Jul - Stars and Posts |
Not having started any long-arm quilting myself yet, I had no idea what was easy to do and what was a pain.
 |
| Aug - Sailboat |
So I just drew exactly what I wanted. Patty actually succeeded in giving me most everything just like I had it!

| Sep - Castle in the Air |
 |
| Oct - Maple Leaf |
 |
| Nov - Mother's Dream |
 |
| Dec - Evergreen |
We're all rather partial to the kitties under the tree. :D
The setting squares all have the guild's logo quilted in them. (And, no, Patty did not use a computer to do all those teeny-tiny flying geese motifs! They were all done by ruler help.)This quilt has a hanging sleeve because it’s just too fun and pretty to not have up on the wall sometimes!
