It's for the Birds

Last summer my mom (Kathleen) read about a design Challenge in McCalls Quilting magazine. 
She thought it sounded like a fun idea so she entered one of her original designs. Daisies and Lattice. 
She made it through the first round with that design and onto the second round.
In the second round she was given the challenge to make a quilt using only two different blocks. 
She designed, Bed of Tulips.
She made it through the second round with that design and was onto the third round.
In the third round she was given a stack of Robert Kauffman Batiks and given the challenge to design a quilt using a noticeable amount of each of the batiks.
She designed Merry Sunshine from those batiks. 
She made it through that round and onto the final challenge. The final challenge was to design and make a quilt that is inspired by her original entry. 
She was ecstatic with this challenge. 
She designed "It's for the Birds".
I think she did an awesome job in this contest. It's been fun to watch her create such beautiful quilts. 
This contest is a voter based competition. Kathleen would love your support by voting for her final quilt. To vote simply click here and then vote.
The contest ends next week.

Good luck and congratulations on making it this far in the contest to Kathleen!
