    Finally some progress

    January 26, 2010 - By 

    In preparation for Christmas I set aside packed away my circles quilt and promptly forgot about it. Outta sight, outta mind.

    I broke out the sewing machine and iron this morning and got back to work. It’s really coming together quickly now. I was very surprised when I laid all the pieces out on the living room floor that I was only 8 circles short. Easy peasy to whip those up.

    Hopefully I’ll have a completed quilt to show by weeks end!

    Circles into clovers and mountains.

    I’m sad…I only had on person even ventured a guess at what the heck I’m making.

    Ok…I’m over it. Comments and questions are always appreciated though!

    I’m in the painstaking process of making another quilt like this.

    The one I’m working on will be a little larger than the first… YIKES! That one was quite a challenge to sew at the end stages for me.

    Each circle is drawn around a kids plastic plate then hand cut with a scissors. Then the sewing lines have to be drawn on with a template. Please if anyone knows a speeder technique, let me know!!

    I’ll need to start cutting all the fabric squares to place in the Cathedral windows shortly. This is what I believe to be a variation of the Cathedral window quilt pattern. What I like about it is that it finishes both sides at the same time!!
