It's done, finished, completed!
I guess know this is the blog post you have been waiting ever so patiently for. I have sewn the last stitch of Tail Feathers become friendly with Photoshop and completed the pattern, images and shop kit - it's all ready to go and has arrive at Creative Abundance ready for pattern printing and release.
I am so excited that after so many peeks I can show you the complete quilt, here are some images from the photo shoot on Sunday
This is 'Tail Feathers...a feathered journey'
And a picture of the complete quilt
It's funny to look back over the posts and read about the making of and the planning stages, wondering how it would all go together and bringing my sketches to 'life' in thread.
If you have been following me on twitter this last week I mentioned wishing I was a Photoshop expert so I could prepare the flyer, shop kit images and pattern cover images without too much grief or too many late nights. Well yes, there were a few late nights but I am very happy with the finished product.
Sitting writing to you I think I should be doing my happy dance but really I am unwinding and putting my feet up wondering what I will create next.
Maybe I should pull out my sketchbook, I am sure there is something hidden in the white pages just waiting for me.
Till then, I hope you love it (she says, shaking her tail feathers)

HI Roseanne, thank you for the comment - the pattern requires 2 x honey buns or sweet rolls which are pre cut at 1 1/2 inches. I am sure this will help you - Natalie

Hello Natalie, I maybe completely wrong, but all strips from a jelly roll is 2½ in. I'm just about to cut my fabrics to make block one, and it says her 1½ in to everything....is that write? what can we do with the rest?. I'm maybe wrong ...if it so, my apologies. Hugs from Denmark, Rosane
