It could be a headliner for a show but no its even better ;-). I finished one of my WiPs from Wednesday. The Rainbow Can-Can girls, which is my contribution to Laura’s (@littleandlots) sisterhood of the traveling quilt. Here’s a close up of Miss Red…I love her shoes!!
I think Miss Blue is my favorite as that catches your eye first but if you look a little longer then I also love Miss Green and Miss Orange. Best news though, I know Laura loves them already!! I hope that also excuses me (at least a little) for being 6 weeks late. Even more reason to celebrate the finish by linking up with Amanda Jean for Finish it up Friday.

11. The ladies are fabulous!
12. I follow you on feedly.
13. I love the big bear and the zebra.
14. I follow you on bloglovin.
15. I love bears so I would have to be the Big Bear in her shop! Love the can can girls you did! fabulous!
16. I follow you on blog lovn!
17. Miss Red is stunning, as are the others. My favorite pattern is big bear, though I am tempted by In Flight as well. I follow you on wordpress.com.
18. truly my favorite pattern by far is the can can girls pattern. I have been following your progress and I think my favorite block is the orange one but I absolutely love the blue one too. I have not paper pieced a lot so this pattern would give me a chance to get more experience. I love the results you get when you paper piece and I would love a chance to win this pattern. Thank you for hosting this giveaway. janicelashley@gmail.
19. Awesome! The girls looks so cool!
20. Your Can-can Chorus Line is absolutely out of this world. It is an instant Classic of paper piecing to me. Juliet is so incredibly talented that it hard to pick one, or two, of her designs as favorites. But I think I will pick Big Bear as my first choice because I can remember how awe struck I was when I first saw it. Again, just an instant Classic. To me, seeing Juliet’s patterns which project movement and realism,and putting them in current fabrics, makes them very edgy, cool, and modern. 😀
21. For my second comment, I am torn. There is not one of Juliet’s patterns that I wouldn’t want to buy and try making it my own. I haven’t simply because I’m a newbie and don’t feel confident enough yet to approach her patterns. But as my second choice I will say the elephant package simply because I dearly love elephants. There is something that Juliet has done with the little elephant calf pattern that makes it just tug on my heartstrings. Maybe because s/he is running and it looks like it’s running to keep up with its mother? I know, I anthropomorphosize way too much 🙂
22. I follow via Bloglovin, your can can girls are adorable.
23. The zebra caught my eye.
24. I thought, “how hard can this be.,..just look at the patterns and any one will be okay.” But I looked and each one is a work of art. I’m partial to giraffe’s and like that pattern. Also all the elephants, the zebra, the birds….So Any one of them would be a fabulous gift. The chorus girls is lovely and the recipient should be thrilled.
25. I follow your blog through BlogLovin’

31. Thanks for sharing the link to Juliets store! Although it is difficult to pick between the Safari Animals and the Butterfly and OMG there is a VW bus – I’m thinking at this moment the butterfly is my fav.
32. You did a phenomenal job on the Can Can girls and it looks like such a FUN piece! I may have to consider my own line of darling dancers.
33. i totally love this! miss blue’s dress is my favorite too!
34. So many to choose from! I’ve been eying off the African Safari bundle. I have 4 little kids and I reckon that would be the shiz!! Although, just me the? The elephant is where it’s at.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win this great giveaway. Those can can girls are great too!!!
35. I love what you have done here, I have plans to make one for a friend.
My fav pattern from the store is either this one or the Zebra. Thanks for the giveaway
36. To pick a favourite! Inspired all the time – each new pattern becomes a favourite but have enjoyed the Big Cat, giraffe, lion and must finish another project before creating the Zebra. The girls will go nicely with my nieces 21st birthday quilt. Love your work.
