One of my evening Sampler Clubs are learning how to piece circles making the Circle and Spin or Circle and Spin to the Moon quilts. They had lots of blocks finished when we met last time. Love all those colors!
They are doing a great job and found out that doing circles this way isn't that hard at all!
I will be teaching this again on Nov. 12 at
Log Cabin Quilting in Exira. If you live in the area and want to try it, give
Robin or me a call!
Two of the quilters from the last class of beginners are making the Double Four Patch quilt. These will be gorgeous when finished!
I have been working on my entry for the
Quilting the Blues 2016 Challenge, so I can't really post my progress, but I took a picture of the 16 fat quarters that I received to use in the challenge. You can add 3 of your own fabrics to the mix. There are size requirements as well as other rules for this challenge, but if your quilt is chosen as a finalist, it will travel to the Original Sewing and Quilting Expos next year.
It's fun to try challenges and this one was challenging for me because I knew what I wanted to do, but at one point it wasn't happening. I had to rework it several times before I thought it conveyed what I wanted it to. It is at the quilter's now, so hopefully she is working her magic on it and it will be how I envisioned. I can't wait to see what everyone does with this challenge. If you took this challenge, let me know.

Love the Circle and Spin quilt tops! And seeing the double four patch tops in just two colors, makes me want to make one of those too. So many ideas and not enough time. Looking forward to seeing your challenge quilt when you can give us a peek.
