    Hi! I'm pretty new to quilting and I love this one! Can you give us some more details? Are the circles applique and do you use a free motion foot to quilt on them? It's so pretty!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  44. this is absolutely gorgeous! i'm so impressed with some of the fabrics you chose to mix. sometimes it is so hard to work on a block, but see how it will look as a whole quilt. there are combos in your blocks that i never would have chosen but are amazing as a whole. you are something else, my friend. :)

    ps--did you use your fancy fabric cutter?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Very inspiring! I am just starting my first quilt with curved piecing I hope it turns out at least half as good as yours.

    What a fabulous quilt & the circle lined quilting looks great. Sewing circles terrifies me, won't even attempt it. It's really a dumb phobia to have when you've never attempted it. Well actually I sort of tried it once and it was a disaster!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! Ahhhh, I'm truly thankful that you returned to blogging. I wish you would come out to Texas.

  73. It's gorgeous. It makes me want to pull out my circle quilt and quilt it. I love your colors better than mine, though. Good contrast and mix.

    Amanda Jean! Well done! Can you please let me know if there is a pattern for this?...

    ReplyDelete
  77. So, so beautiful... I wish I had your skills

    ReplyDelete
  78. Very beautiful! I bought the exact same Farmdale floral Alexander Henry fabric at Joanns last week. I think the color is divine. How did you quilt the concentric circles so accurately? Did you draw the lines first or what? I have never done any type of precision quilting without the aid of painter's tape. That's why I'm wondering...thanks:)

    ReplyDelete
  79. Fabulous. Just love the fabric and colour combinations. A post on the process you use for making your choices would be fascinating, if ever you are minded to do that?

    ReplyDelete
  80. It's just gorgeous!! I keep seeing circle quilts, and I think I'm just going to have to break down and make one myself.....

    I love the colours and the wonderfully round circles - what a great quilt

    ReplyDelete
  82. Wow I have had this design on my to do list for sometime but always thought it too hard. Do you have any hints or tips on how to make this quilt. Any suggestions would be great.

    ReplyDelete
  83. What a beautiful quilt! Great job! I would love it if you could post a tutorial on how to do this. I am a beginner quilter and have NO idea how to sew together curved pieces. But now that I have seen this quilt I MUST learn how!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  84. Love it! I made a much darker one with batiks, but I love it in the colors you used!

    ReplyDelete
  85. This is so gorgeous!!!Where can I find a pattern for that?

    ReplyDelete
  93. Absolutly love this one! Makes me want to try circles :-). Great work, and boy do I LOVE that backing!!!

    ReplyDelete
  94. Oh GOODNESS! This is incredibly delightful! I have two questions. 1. how do you quilt in a circle like that, as in what is YOUR method, I can think of a few ways to do it...and two what color thread did you use?

    ReplyDelete
  95. So cute-you have inspired me! I have had the template for probably 2 years! I tried it once with the no pinning method & it didn't come out that great. I'm going to try it again your way!

    ReplyDelete
  96. Such a fun quilt! Your quilting adds movement and makes it so gorgeous! Thank you for an awesome tutorial!

    ReplyDelete
  97. I just love this quilt. You not only did a great job sewing but your tutorial was the best written ever. I appreciate when someone takes the time to teach the details, like pressing directions. So many times these things are left out an we don't get as good of product as we could. Yahoo and thanks a bunch!!!!

  98. I made a king-sized quilt from batiks for my son last year, all curved piecing. This year, I'm working on my daughters'. I love doing the curved=piecing, it's my favorite piecework...I love your fabrics, and the quilting. I sent mine out, and was very pleased with the outcome...

    ReplyDelete
  99. I'm definitely going to try the curved piecing.....your quilt is beautiful.... luv the colors....(o:

    ReplyDelete
  100. I love this quilt! For your circular quilting, did you just start at the outside of the circle and spiral in and end in the center? Or did you have a different way of doing it?

    ReplyDelete
  101. Gorgeous! And I really like a quilt without a border..

    ReplyDelete

  104. I love it! This is the same quilt that I am working on using the same templates. I am using a French General FQ bundle and it is a king size quilt. This one has taken a lot longer than yours tho!!! I love your colors and I am thinking I will have to make one just like it too! LOL

    What an amazing and beautiful quilt! I love everything about it. The colours are just gorgeous and the circles on squares effect is simple and cute. I think one of my sons might like a quilt like that...with fewer floral fabric choices of course. :)
