Design Wall Monday–7/11/11

Meet Miss August – My First Calendar Girl

Over the last few day’s I’ve shown you my efforts to take the Garden Girl pattern from Garden Club Quilts by Country Threads, Inc. and turn her in to my own paper pieced version.  My plan (at least until it changes) is to make one mini-quilt each month and dress her appropriately for the month she represents.  So without further delay…….drum roll please………

Miss Aggie August

She’s going to get a small border of the sunflower fabric then I need to quilt her and find a place to hang her up on the wall.

I think I’m in love. Red heart

To see what others have on their design walls, head on over to Judy’s Patchwork Times to check It out. 

Enjoy,

Signature

    About a year ago one of the quilds I belong to had a block exchange. One of the participants had us making this pattern. Sure was fun to create the dresses and matching hats. Lots of Kaffee Fassett fabrics came in to that project. I like your idea to make one that fit's the theme of that month. Can't wait to see this project moving forward. Sandi
