Last year I got onto a bit of a paper-piecing buzz... all new, all exciting, all addictive!

The first few had no purpose before I decided to keep going and make a quilt.

Some more testing, and more birds later there were enough to turn them into a lap sized quilt.

Destined as a gift for my in-laws for Christmas, the completed top along with a NZ wool blanket as batting and an awesome vintage sheet were sent to Leeanne for some custom quilting.

Binding went on all ready for Christmas day. And it was very well received - yay!

Thank you to Juliet for trusting me with your patterns and getting me hooked on paper-piecing! And to Leeanne whose skills take a quilt to a whole new level!
What big projects and milestones have you been achieving? Any more Christmas presents to share?
Looking forward to seeing what you've all been up to!
Happy Thursday
