I completed Octavius Owl. It was really easy to make I must say. I have never quilted any of my softies before so this was the new challenge. The back part seemed to end up being too long (about a seam allowance) so I trimmed it back, this worked. I'm not very good at top stitching around corners, I like to think it's my machine that's restricting me!! So I hand top stitched.
As I have blogged before about the fabric I wont go in to detail but I now think that some of it is Moda, but please don't quote me.
Check out more photos on my flickr site for more detail.

This owl has been on my to do list for ages and 2 people voted for me to make it next, so I've started. I love owls and have heaps of patterns and want to make them all. I know I could get a little obsessive about it though!!

The patterned fabric was from a fabric pack bought at a little patchwork shop in Rosebud and the felt is from my stash. I would credit the fabric designers here but as the fabric was in a pack and only the size you see, there wasn't any selvages, so if you can recognise the material, please let me know and I will give credit.

The pattern is from Homespun Vol 9.10 and the owl designed my Jhoanna Monte Aranez.
