Yes folks, I finally finished it!

This is my entry for August ALYoF

A Lovely Year of Finishes

I have to say that I am completely thrilled with this quilt! So, you are going to see a pile of photos!

There were a few trials and tribulations along the way, but they are long forgotten now.

I started this quilt because of two lucky wins!
A bundle of Carnaby Street by Pat Bravo from Fabricworm.

and this Quilting & Patchwork magazine from Lily's Quilts.

I think my favourite part was the flying geese in which I used all text fabrics.

No, wait.......
maybe it's the cross blocks using my inspiration Carnaby Street fabric....

hmmm........well, I also loved using my Oakshott collection for the triangle border....

Okay, I can't pick a favourite border, but I do know what gave me the biggest fit!!!

...a big, ugly oops!
Fixed, but still haunts my dreams!

Now, for the quilting-
Yippee!

What? You can't see around the legs?
okay, okay...

 Yes, there is still a paw in there!

As you can see, I tried a lot of different FMQ designs!
It was good practice for me, as I tend to be cowardly when it comes to quilting.
I used a beautiful Aurifil thread for all the piecing and quilting.
My go to piecing thread is a 50wt #2021
For the quilting, I used a pale green 50 wt #2800.
I just realized that I don't have a good photo of the back!
This is the only one.....

Basically, some random piecing!
Okay, that's it for my August finish.
*sigh*
Love my Marcelle Medallion!
One final quality control photo.....

Thanks for stopping by!
Forgot to give a big thanks to my brother, Doug, who used his skills as a photographer, to take a few of the outdoor shots!
