Topping Off or Topping Out
In building construction, topping out, or topping off, is a ceremony held when the last beam is placed at the top of a building. The term may also refer to the overall completion of the building's structure. A topping out ceremony is usually held to commemorate the event. Here on the Twelve by Twelve blog we are celebrating by inviting our readers to leave a comment before 5pm on 15 October to go into a draw for some of our special notecards. You might also like to vote in our poll to nominate your favourite collaborative art quilt mosaic so far (see the sidebar).

The variety of technique used to relay the theme is fasinating! All the of challages have been great and I look forward to the next one.
All 12 are GREAT works of ART!
CONGRATS to everyone - every unveiling I LOVE seeing how one or two are similar.
Look forward to Mathematics!!!
I have loved watching the unveilings every month- the variety of artistic vision is fascinating. You are a wonderfully talented group of artists, and I've learned from perusing your creations.
A friend of mine just gave me your site..How incredible..You truly area a creative artistic group..What a pleasure to browse through and yes, I even voted..Great job to all of you!

I've just found your site and I wanted to say how nice it is. You are a talented group! I like all the finished pieces but what I really like the way you all show your inspirations along the way. Its interesting to see the different interpretations. Goes to show that while we might think we speak a common language we obviously dont! If I have a favorite quilt - its the Two Snails on a Tree if for no other reason than it made me smile!
Well done.

Love this grouping! Interesting to see each interpretation. The depth of the Cave piece is amazing.

What an awesome display of creativity. Observing the continually expanding creativity of each artist with the progression of challenges is such a treat. I am grateful that this group allows me to watch them as they push their creative boundaries. I appreciate that "virtual space" allows me to see this exhibit, but I would love to see these works in "real space".
Fascinating work....it's so interesting how you all can pack a lot in the small format of 12x12. The cave piece caught my eye immediately and the similarilty between that and the one below is striking.

The variety in your solutions to this challenge is delightful! Isn't it great that we're all created as such individual thinkers. Thank you for sharing your work!
Tres bien!
I really like the feature of being able to look at each artist's group of quilts as a mosaic. It is so interesting to watch the development in style, colors and feeling of each quilt. I am so glad you are sharing this experiment with all of us.
I look forward to each challenge to see how each of you interprets the theme, techniques used, and how creative you all are! I hope you are all having as much fun doing the art work as I do when you reveal your endeavors. Cheers.
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the progress of your ventures with each theme. You are all inspirational artists. So much i can learn from you all...
Much Food for thought and many planes of thinking. Love all the types of approach and tecniques.
Very Inspirational. Keep it up.
I love these! What a powerful theme to have chosen, and what a wonderful way to see the differences in the theme that the artists have.
What an amazing collection of work. Beautiful textiles and stitches and so much variety in the interpretation.
lovely work. Well thought out compositions and very competent executions! thank you for sharing!
This is such an inspirational place to visit, and oh how I wish I could see the quilts in real life!

As a newish quilt artist, it is such a blessing to be able to see and watch all your minds at work as you develop ideas on your themes. Thanks for sharing your process with us!
Someday it would be fun for you to have a specific "Play At Home" theme where all us lurkers would be encouraged to complete something, too. Then maybe the "cloud of witnesses" pieces could be auctioned off for a charity.

You all do beautiful and creative work. I have enjoyed checking in every now and then throughout the year.
I found the 12x12 through a sort of bloggish six-degrees-of-separation, and I'm so glad! Y'all's work is both lovely and inspirational. I was looking for a visual kick-in-the-pants -- I've definitely found it here!! I'm looking forward to seeing the Mathematics project when ready.
