Hey TTMT! Would you like to continue having monthly prizes in 2015?
Having monthly participation prizes just for ttmters depends entirely on what y'all want to do. This year, we shared

Your PPV is seriously fabulous! It looks just amazing! Congratulations!!

Are you hosting a BoM for 2015? I know it is a ton of work, but didn't know if you enjoyed it and were doing it again.

I thought prizes each month were fun. I'd be happy to sponsor.

Thank you! I can't even begin to tell you how good it feels to get to share the finished quilt!

At this point, the only project I have planned for 2015 is working on the PoD. If something else inspires me, then who knows?! I really do wait for projects to hijack me!

Thanks for your feedback on having prizes again. I think we've all all Yes votes so far. :)

Wow, that's really beautiful! I sorta crashed and burned on it early on due to Life and Stuff, but this inspires me to give it another go. :)

I think the monthly prizes were a fun thing to do, I'd be willing to go in with it again. Hope everybody starts posting more after the holidays (me included!).

[ofenjen]

Thanks! It came out even better than I had hoped. I especially love the border which I didn't plan at all and happened sort of by accident because I wasn't ready to stop working on it yet! I hope you do give it another go. I'll still be around, if you have questions. :D

This is such a hard time of year for videos. Mine tend to be shorter, but I'm so ocd about posting that MUST POST. It's kind of a personal challenge at this point.

I am so glad you were inspired to do the piano key border because it just really seems to be the perfect border, imo.

I will definitely sponsor a month. Again, definitely a SMALLER prize than this year, lol. THat xmas in august thing was truly insane but it just felt so good. ;)

[ofenjen]

I'm glad I did the border, too. It just grew because I didn't want to stop working on the quilt!

It looks like we'll be doing prizes again...we have 5 volunteers for prizes so far. :D

Your PPV quilt turned out really great! It's the perfect pattern for all those vintagey type prints you used too. I really like the choice of Baptist Fan for the quilting - its one of my favourite quilting patterns, though it does seem like a lot of work to do by machine. The Piano Key border is a fun addition too.

[ofenjen]

Thanks! The PPV really pleases me. Francesca said the Baptist Fan was a lot of ruler work on the machine, but she did a fabulous job and in seriously record time.
