February has flown by, and 29 circles have been added to my
Quilty 365 project box, which is rapidly filling up, with a total of 113 blocks completed!
I'd best start mopping the floors more frequently, gonna need another box before long!
February's mix.
February Quilty 365 circles
I mentioned in an earlier post how circles have taken over my quilty life. I stitched a few circle blocks to add to my husband's Oregon Memories quilt top, then turned my attention to making a few small friendship star blocks to add to the mix. Then on Saturday my husband wandered into the sewing room, took one look at the design wall and nixed the idea of the little star blocks. He wants more circle blocks for the rest of the alternate blocks! Um, OK, we can do circles! So, as of last night, in addition to my Quilty 365 circles, I've hand stitched 15 circles of varying sizes for his quilt.

Time to link up with Audrey at
Quilty Folk and then see what everyone else has been up to.
And, thought I'd begin March with a note of springtime hopefulness. The last piece of this fabric, from my son and DIL's wedding quilt made 15 years ago!

Oh, wow.....I want that cardinal! Your husband has a good design eye.....I absolutely love the circle addition to his memory quilt. Can't wait to see more of it. There must be something to these circles and how they affect our other projects. Magic circles, maybe.
They're looking so pretty. I love the bird.
From the looks of our "peek", those circles blend well into the Memories quilt--a nice juxtaposition of curves into the many lines and corners of the other blocks.
That last bit of fabric made a great block for your circle quilt!
Oh my you DO have alot of circles going on now with his additional request! Love your spring bird one! :)
Nice little birdie for a hint of springtime with a nice memory attached!
Lots of circles in your stitching world. Looking great.
A lot of circles in OUR life this year....very beautiful XXX
Too funny that you're husband wants more circles! We're all going to get really good at appliqueing circles!:)
I love that your husband likes the circles too and I have to say they look really good in his quilt, they add a little more interest to a beautifully visual quilt, I'm glad he wandered in :)
I have to agree with your husband - those circles look great in there!
Oh, your circles are so pretty - I like the different backgrounds - and those for your husband's quilt are just perfect!!
Oh, how beautiful fabrics you have! This block with a little bird is lovely with it´s memories.
Some lovely circles happening there. It is amazing how long we hang onto those scraps for.
How lovely to have that perfect piece of bird fabric left as a memory to add the provenance! I really like your selection of circles, theres some delightful almost coral looking backings in there too.
: )
I was just thinking today how I needed to find a container for my circles pretty soon. I like your solution. Your circles are gorgeous, and I really like your background fabrics as well! The birdie is so sweet. Gotta love that your hubby felt so strongly about more circles for his quilt!
I guess you could call 2016 a well rounded year?
Wow! Your handstitched circles are fantastic!
Thank you for your kind comments, I have popped in to say hello and admire your work. It's looking just wonderful and how wonderful it is when we find that last scrap that has so much to tell us. These quilts will be magnificent!
What fun! I love how you incorporated some circles in your DH's quilt!
Your circles are looking great, love that fussy cut bird!!
