Another week, another circle quilt!<\/p>\n

Although it looks finished, this quilt can still be considered a WiP because it doesn’t yet have a label, a hanging sleeve – or a title.\u00a0 (If you’re interested in titles for quilts – or other artwork, for that matter – come back on Friday for a blog post on that subject.\u00a0 And if you have an idea for a title for this quilt, please let me know.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This quilt started with a design I made with MS Paint, and some fabrics I thought would work well together.\u00a0 \u00a0 I decided to offset the vertical seams in the circle, rather than have them line up with the seams in the negative space around the circle.\u00a0\u00a0 Because I tend to have smaller pieces of fabric in my collection, I was forced to rearrange the colors from my original design.\u00a0 For example, I had wanted to use a lot more of the yellow fabric, but I just didn’t have enough of it.\u00a0\u00a0 But that’s part of the challenge – working with the fabric I have.\u00a0 Sometimes I find that frustrating, but in this case, I’m happy with the final result.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I quilted straight vertical lines mostly 1\/2″ apart, using a variety of thread colors, matching them to the fabrics in the circle section.\u00a0\u00a0 I particularly like the effect of the pink thread on the chartreuse fabric.<\/p>\n

\"TerryAske-circle<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I finished it with a facing<\/a>, using my usual technique to reduce bulk in the corners.\u00a0 This time, I planned ahead and before quilting the last couple of inches on each side, I squared and trimmed the quilt, and cut out the corners of the batting.\u00a0 Then I quilted the last few vertical lines.\u00a0 This way the quilting went right to the edges and I didn’t have to worry about it when I applied the facings.<\/p>\n
