A Circle a Day...

…keeps the blues away! I just love getting up each morning and stitching my little Quilty 365 circle. I stitched #85 this morning! Here are last month’s circles.



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!

  1. 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.

  2. A good way to store your circles on paper towel card boards. I sometimes use those to store bias strips for applique.

  3. You are using such happy fabrics for your circle blocks! Clever storage arrangement!
    Any other SALs up your sleeve besides these two? : )

    1. 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.

  4. I 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!

  6. I 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.

  9. So 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.

    1. They are all vintage feedasck prints from the 1930's - 1950's. Fun! I have quite a collection.

  11. Such 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!

  13. great circle strip organization! Your circles are so fun and bright.
    I have a bullseye quilt that I made 18 years ago - it gets better every year.

  16. Once 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!
    I'm loving the feedsack circles!!
