Circle quilts

Welcome back for Part Two of the Simple Circle Quilt Tutorial! Once I have the circles zig- zagged, I pull the threads to the back and tie. (Or backstitch...pulling the threads to the back is just a bit neater looking.) I chain piece the blocks... Again, the numbers really help since I pick up the pairs in vertical rows. I like to then sew them together into four-patch blocks, but I know some of you prefer to do rows instead. Whatever you like.. Because my design is an uneven number of rows…

I queried "modern quilt guilds" in Pinterest this afternoon and discovered that 30 guilds have Pinterest sites. Each of those sites have various board and many pins. There are a few guilds who are just starting their sites and fewer than 15 pins, but some have as many several hundred to a thousand.

Was I able to do a pieced circle in…

I have looked at quite a few quilts now, and most do not excite me any more. However, once in a while, I go ‘ohhh’. And that’s what I did yesterday when I came across this beautiful circle quilt tutorial. I love the fabric pattern, design & color choices of this quilts. This is the

A while back, Mari brought a quilt to our group. She'd seen something like it in a quilt shop out of state, and went home and made herself one. Our group loved her cute circles, which led to some more circle quilts... and a few more! We made Halloween circles and baby circles!
