Quilty365 Circles 10th August 2016

First I apologise to those messages I have not answered over the last week. I cut my leg 7 weeks ago it healed nicely no problems then 10 days ago it started to break out and I have been on antibiotics since, an abscess has built up under the skin and it is taking ages to heal, but finally it is healing but I have not felt like doing any thing much. So today just going to add a blog I wrote for my quilt365 Circles last weekend. this morning I have been sitting hemming and appliquéing my Quilty365 Circles, I pick these up when I have no energy to do any thing else, they are very soothing and relaxing no need to think at all LOL

Below was written on the 7th.

Im still working on my lovely wee circles but I keep forgetting to join in at the beginning of the month and then its to late to join in LOL

My back ground fabric is a lovely hand woven antique silk, sadly it frays some thing terrible but Im managing to control it to this stage, Im glad Im making 3 small wall quilts though not one large one.

My first 90 wee blocks but there are 121 circles here.  I have finished sashiko quilting this wee quilt one down 3 to go LOL

Learning to sashiko quilt. Back of my first wall quilt, close up so you can see the bigger stitches I use for sashiko quilting, my circles are not so good from the back but over time hopefully it will improve LOL

Last month I finished sewing my next 90 wee squares together now I need to fins time to sandwich them in to my next wee quilt so I can sashiko quilt it.  There are 122 circles here so thats 243 circles so far completed.

My first 37 tiny squares with there circles for my 3rd and final wall quilt.

My  circles cut out waiting to be hemmed then appliquéd on to the tiny squares.

I have cut out another prepared another 122 which makes my 365 circles, these ones I have started appliquéing to my tiny squares.  If I keep going I will have meet my challenge by Nov. I started making my tiny circles in Dec 2015 how I have loved making these wee circles.  THANK YOU  so much Audrey its is and has been a lovely journey playing with these beautiful pieces of fabric.

Some other circles that Im working on.

Was not happy with the large planet so unpicked part of it and added more padding

I have been working on my LE border, it is very very slow but Im close to finishing appliquéing these leaves down at last

Finally hand appliquéd my black bias around my outer circle it took me 3 1/2 hrs ?????

This was one of the first quilts I made. I was living in PNG. I did not know much about quilting then so did not add much of it too this quilt,  it has been given back to me to finish the binding I did not realise Id never finished it, I ended up adding the out side yellow border to make it a little bigger and now hand quilting around the circles.

All though I like this quilt there is nothing to keep you looking so Im working on adding these floating circles.

My thanks go to Karen for introducing me to this wonderful group, and to Audrey for starting it. I have loved every moment of it so far.

My garden is drowning but growing like a jungle in all the constant rain we have had the last year,  it is slowly blocking out the sun so we will have to do a good cull soon to let the light back in, I took these photos this morning and it shows how covered in we are now????

Thank you for dropping in and again I apologise for not answering your comments.
