Dee F. added a cut-out of a horse to her background. She noted that bluebonnets are everywhere right now.

Julie P. created the bird cut-out, but also added the pre-cut bird as a border. She used a picture of her windmill from last summer as the backdrop.

Dorothy I. noted that this is Rasputin, our rooster proudly walking in the garden.

Dorothy I. Jana my cat still has dirt on her feet. I shoudn't allow her to sit on my work. I altered the background image with the special-effects - 3D from a flat view to slightly skewed.

Adrienne Quinlan As I have been doing the Reproduction Class I have replicated a pre-1799 quilt named Calamanco from the Quilt Index. Although I did not need to make use of the skill in this quilt I think that the main think I have learned is making blocks using Ploy Draw that are not completely filled in and then using Layer 2 on the quilt to insert the filler blocks.

Debbie Treusch My February challenge quilt from the mix and match medallion borders. I learned so much with this class. For my quilt, I used a block I created in the mix and match medallion class, added the diamond borders and set them with the double monkey wrench and log cabin blocks. I love the lattice look of the border.

Dorothee Ilgner I was in the reproduction class and redrew a Quilt from 1925. It is called 'Double Irish Chain and Scoth Thistle' and is made by Anna Gleissner Good. I found the main block in the library and drew only the center blocks. then I choose a rather similar applique from the library and changed the shapes to resemble the thistle. I learned that the colors of the quilt are probably faded now, so I used colors that might have been en vogue in 1925.

Julie Pedersen I did the Reproduction Quilts class this month. I always learn something new with Kari's classes. I played with the colors of the Ships Wheel that we designed in the class. First I did black and dark fabrics. Then I wanted something a bit brighter so here it is.

Joy Hegglund I wasn't sure about doing the Reproduction Quilts as I'm not really into Repro fabrics, but it was a really valuable class to do and of course it isn't necessary to use Repro fabrics to learn all the skills Kari taught us.

Kathleen McCormick I was in the Mix and Match Medallion borders. I love applique and love playing with the borders to make sections pop! I definitely want to run through this one again at some point - there is a lot in the Medallion classes!

Wanda Jewell Hi Everyone! I am in Kari's Mix and Match Medallion Borders class this month. All I can say, is I learned ALL KINDS of things. For my Challenge Quilt. I did an on point layout, then went to layer 2 and made the center medallion using some blocks from my monthly lesson and a block from blockbase as the center. That was something that will be very useful to me in the future as I really like Medallion Quilts, Then I filled in the layout with blocks that I like and plain blocks. Next, I went to the borders and added 2 side borders without the top and bottom to use the asymmetrical borders like we learned. I hadn't done that before this lesson . It made it so that I could use the blocks I had used along the top of the layout on the sides. I redrew the log cabin blocks along the sides so my flying geese would meet. Then I put a thin red border in for the backing. Anyway, I am very happy with everything I learned this month. I also learned how to do many other types of borders, clam shells etc. I really enjoyed this month's lessons and am looking forward to my Bargello class. :)

Janet Inglis I finished 2 classes this February (whew!). The Introduction to EasyDraw which was a good refresher course with some tool tips I didn’t know. This one is from Introduction to Easy Draw

Janet Inglis All I can say is Wow! I've completed the EasyDraw Kaleidoscopes class and enjoyed it. I admit there were times when I was feeling very stretched. But stretching is good for you. I've done a simple quilt showing some very basic blocks that Kari presented to us. I've used the Swirl and the Log Cabin block in the quilt. I may make this quilt someday. I've named it 'Ribbon of Life'.

Adrienne Quinlan I decided to make the Doll quilt but using the pineapple block we used in the Reproduction class. Each point of the star can be foundation pieced. Here is the the link for the doll quilt post. https://www.onpointquilter.com/blog/antique-doll-quilt

Joan Christopherson - Inspired by a lesson in Mix and Match Medallion borders.

Pat Harkin Designed in EQ then discovered the center (minus the outer 5 borders) was from the Judy Niemeyer pattern Summer Solstice. Used her pattern to paper piece.
