Sixty-three down, eighteen to go!
Down to the last two rows of blocks and I am finally confident enough to sew these curvy liitle blocks without pins. I rely heavily on my very pointy tweezers though! Also, I am close enough to sewing the blocks together to start serious consideration of the machine quilting I will do. Should I keep it simple and just stitch-in-the-ditch around all the interlocking circles or should I fall back on feathers or, perhaps, I should take a “modern quilting” approach. We will see…
This is gorgeous! If it were me, I would be quilting circles within the circles that read light. I am jealous as I would love to have this die…. but in due time, sigh!
Love red and cream together. This is a beautiful quilt!
It’s stunning!!!
This is continuing with awesome.
Now, tell me again, WHEN DO YOU SLEEP!!? What a great job…LP

I love the quilting in the magazine — simple yet effective. It’s circles, but they look like they’re a half-inch or an inch from the piecing seams. I think it really reenforces the “circularity” of the pattern.
It is terrific; more and more circles visible with every row you complete. You set the bar WAY high, Joyce. I cast one vote (though I know you aren’t really soliciting opinions) for circles over feathers but what would a “more modern” be? (I’m with Lillian, either you don’t sleep or you have a doppelganger.)
Absolutely beautiful! I want to do one! Thank you for sharing
Oh my gosh. This is gorgeous! I love the scrappy look.
