Quilty 365 - Revisited

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).
