scrappy circles quilt

I haven't been sewing as much lately, first of all because I am pregnant (#3) and just barely starting to feel like myself again, second of all the weather has turned beautiful and we've been out a lot. It's been a nice break. I feel like my quilting comes in waves...we'll see if I have the energy to get going again. I have about 6 baby quilts that need to be made for friends and family. I love making baby quilts, so fast and quick.

I used all of my Heather Ross stash for this quilt, and even received some rare pieces from Rachel and Amy (check out amy's stash, incredible!) to add to it, so generous of them. It's super soft, and I think we might just keep this one for ourselves...

I used some of my smaller scraps for the back along with the pink happy campers. I was going to quilt in circles, but chickened out and just did a regular stipple. I still like it alot.

several of you asked about the difficulty of the circles. I would say this quilt is intermediate, not hard, but not for the beginner. I have always been afraid to try curves, but I found this to be fun (especially since there are no corners to match up).

I purchased the pattern here.

finally, i am finished with this quilt. i don't think i have ever been so ready to be done with a quilt. this was a slow one for me.

it measures approximately 74x90 inches (twin size), and i know i definitely prefer baby and lap size quilts. i might be done with larger quilts for a while, they are just not as fun for me. i guess i like quick fast results.

backing is apples and pears in blue.

i did a pieced binding because i just couldn't decide whether to use blue, green or yellow.

i think i'm getting my quilting drive back, all i want to do is work on this scrappy circles quilt. I laid it all out and asked my 4 year old daughter what she thought of it, and her response was, 'it's not very pretty.' lol--she's my toughest critic.

update: I purchased the scrappy circles pattern here.

(and, i'm almost finished with this quilt, it's been a beast.)

blocks

i don't know what i was thinking when i signed up for 3 quilting bees. i enjoy them all, but throw a busy month in there, and it can be a little overwhelming. this past weekend i got myself completely caught up!! being caught up feels really good!

cute, cute, cute

i love craft pudding's etsy shop. such adorable stamps, she has even made custom stamps for me for my etsy shop--i think she's amazing. recently she printed some of her designs via spoonflower, and i quickly snatched some up for myself.

i am in love.

it might be my current favorite print. i hope she does more. now i need to get out of my sewing funk, so i can put this fabric to use.
