The Best laid plans…
It is time for the final link
up with Audrey’s (Quilty Folk) I had planned to be finished with the hand
quilting of my Quilty 365 by now, but, well…
I started mine in November
2015 and finished the top in November 2016. I had an absolute ball (no pun
intended) hand appliqueing one little vintage feedsack circle each morning for a full
year. I'm thinking of calling it "Crop Circles" since it is made entirely of vintage feedsacks (over 700 different prints!).
My intention was to hand
continue my daily progress by hand quilting for that same 10 – 15 minutes each
morning. Not sure what happened but I have at least made some progress since
the last link up. It really was a joy to make and I am contemplating doing a smaller one with all the circles I cut from behind these. (Don't hold your breath!)
Please check out all the
fabulous quilts on Audrey’s link (here).
I love the scrappy-goodness of your quilt! I also love the way the quilting is showing on the back!
ReplyDeleteWendy, AWESOME!! Just fabulous!! I am extremely impressed that you did something every day for a year (besides brushing and flossing your teeth!!)!! Just a wonderful quilt!

It's beautiful Wendy! I can see why you would want to make another one smaller. Love your quilting, well worth the effort.
