…keeps the blues away! I just
love getting up each morning and stitching my little Quilty 365 circle.
And, here is a shot of 4 rows
all stitched together and rolled up on paper towel rolls. And just look at all
those little circles from cutting out the back of each one. I see another
project in the making!
I have also made progress on
Randy’s bullseye sew-a-long. This has been a great learning experience for me. It is rather "liberating". I'm not saying that I am a precision piecer, but it has been hard to be so "free" with my seams.
So many quilts, so little
time!
So little time, but so much fun! A glimpse of your 365 circles is such a tease! I love those feedsack fabric prints you are using.
ReplyDeleteA good way to store your circles on paper towel card boards. I sometimes use those to store bias strips for applique.
ReplyDeleteYou are using such happy fabrics for your circle blocks! Clever storage arrangement!
ReplyDeleteAny other SALs up your sleeve besides these two? : )
Well... I am going to do Barbara's Westering Women, but that is only one block a month so it should be doable. Haven't jumped into anything else just yet.
DeleteI was going to say those extra circles would be great for a bulls eye quilt, but ha you know that already! I've always wanted to do a bullseye like this, but it is a project for another day. Too many projects too little time. Rolling up the circles on a cardboard tube is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteSo organized and pretty, seeing the rolled up sections and the pile of new circles :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of rolling the rows around paper towel tubes ... brilliant! I haven't begun cutting out the backsides from mine yet - still on the to-do list.
ReplyDeleteA circle a day, hip hip hooray!
ReplyDeleteyour circles are sooo pretty...it'll be a gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteSo many circles. I see you had to keep the cutaway parts too. I just couldn't toss them. Watch out though, when you stitch those down, there will be more circles to trim from behind those too.
ReplyDeleteHa! I think I might stop at that point!
DeleteI l-o-v-e your circles! What are those fabrics? They are beautiful! Isn't this a fun project?
ReplyDeleteThey are all vintage feedasck prints from the 1930's - 1950's. Fun! I have quite a collection.
DeleteSuch a great idea to stitch the rows and then roll them onto tubes! Your circles are so very charming. The Bulls-eye is a fun quilt. Made one years ago and I still appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteI love that you are using prints for the background square as well as the circles.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful fabric circles!
ReplyDeletegreat circle strip organization! Your circles are so fun and bright.
ReplyDeleteI have a bullseye quilt that I made 18 years ago - it gets better every year.
That is good to know, because I have been worried about what they will look like after washing. Thanks!
DeleteSo clever on the paper towel rows! Very cheerful happy fabric too!

ReplyDeleteOnce I brought several quilts to a guild for show and tell- one was my Jane Stickle quilt and another was the bullseye. I was surprised that the bullseye stole the show!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the feedsack circles!!
Can't wait to see what you come up with the circle cutaways!
ReplyDeleteSO funny that the little cut out circles from the circle project will become another great project :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to store your rows! Love the print on print idea too :)
