It is very exciting to be nearing completion of all my circle blocks, but I am also sad at the thought that I have only two more circles left to applique. I will be rather lost without this delightful project to work on during my train commute. I have started exploring some options for a new hand-stitching project for next year's rainbow challenge.
For anyone else considering making their own circle blocks, I just discovered that Audrey at Quilty Folk is hosting Quilty 365 where she will be making an appliqued circle block every day for a year. Wow, that's a lot of circles! It will be fun to follow her progress.

Be sure to check out all of the wonderful scrappy projects at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge every Saturday and at Oh Scrap! over at Quilting is more fun than Housework on Sunday.

I love the combination of the two blocks. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed handwork in my bag this year as well. I definitely will find a new project to carry in the new year. Good luck finding something beautiful to take with you!
ReplyDeleteLots of bright and beautiful greens in your blocks. I'm sad about my RSC project coming to an end. Some projects are just so enjoyable that it's hard to say goodbye. Hope you find a fun project for next year.
ReplyDeleteNo more circles, that is sad. I am sure that you will find something inspirational though for the new year. 365 circles, I can only imagine how big that quilt would be!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing how you put the circles together. I do love the way the bow ties and circles work together. Perhaps you're not finished with circles at all. A new quilt design is calling 8-)
ReplyDeleteI am seriously thinking about the 365 circle project (mine will be machine appliquéd given my temperamental thumb joint). I will miss YOUR circles - but look forward to seeing them become a quilt top. (ditto with the bow ties).
ReplyDeleteOh love those limes against the cream-ey backgrounds...really nice....hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI'll miss your circles, because I love them so. But I look forward to seeing the finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteAudrey's 365 Circles is really tempting, isn't it? I'm toppling...
Just lovely! I DO plan on making some. I will prep the blocks and hand Applique the circles as my 'to go' project while I am traveling to Tx.
ReplyDeleteYou have used such a beautiful collection of greens, and in my view the combination of blocks is wonderful too. I hope you find an equally inspiring commute project for next year.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I have noticed the bow ties in your project, duh! I guess the lime green opened my eyes. They look great.
ReplyDeleteI saw that 365 link... I'm debating but have too many other appliqué projects in the works right now. Maybe next year I'll join in. So sad to see your circles ending.....but fun to come up with a new hand project for your travels.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of sad to see this one coming to an end too. It's been fun watching. I wonder what you will be doing next year on the train commute.
ReplyDeleteI have adored your circle blocks and want to make some one day.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed watch your collection of these blocks grow each month in the month's color.
ReplyDeleteI saw the Quilty 365 and it has me intrigued. I am not sure I could keep up with the sewing but I will certainly be following along. I am really looking forward to seeing your circle quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour bow ties and circles make an interesting composition. I can't wait to see what happens next!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how much you managed to do after a "long, tiring week at work". I think I'd be too tired! Pretty greens amongst that pile.
