Close-up shot of first Quarter-Panel.
Motivated to avoid creating any UFO's this year, I decided to Quilt-As-I-Go.
I joined three panels by using the muslin backing and adding the black strip.
The double-ring has a Valentine's Day poem:
"Birds and Flowers all agree,
That you are just the one for me."
Kind of fun to have the same quilt working through 'stations' in my home!
The fourth panel is currently at the sofa.
Backside of panel FOUR.
The FIFTH panel blocks are squared and waiting for assembly.
Yes, just about! Had I not set this goal for April, I am certain that I would have fallen so far behind as to possibly lose the mojo. Perhaps I would be caught up on blogging, but this is the sacrifice haha!
I would have liked to make this post on the first of the month, to share with the Quilty365 Linkup Party, however I am finding that I must avoid linking to anything at the end or the beginning of each month. This way I make time to keep up with your quilting adventures! I want to be the best host I can be for One Monthly Goal. I may not be able to comment on every post, every time, but I am reading your goals and cheering you all on!
Remember to Make Time to Sew...
And don't forget to to laugh!
OK, Time to linkup your April Finishes!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

Love your circles! I wasn't sure what these quilts would look like when people starting putting them together. Very cool looking.
ReplyDeleteWonderful work and project. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand record of your quilt year!! Like that you are finishing as you go. Really does all work together.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely gorgeous quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a spectacular and beautiful quilt, besides being a special keepsake!
ReplyDeleteI'm fascinated by this quilt and the amount of work that has gone into it. It's truly amazing!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Deb in the comment above - this quilt is definitely fascinating and I love all the details that you're putting into it.
ReplyDeleteThat is looking truly awesome, in the original sense of the word. I love what you're doing, and the sections are such a great idea. At the end of the year, you can sit back (cover up with) on your quilt and enjoy yourself! This is one of my favorite 365 quilts so far.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could travel through my computer screen and look closely at all your fun circles. This really is an amazing project!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your finish, Heidi. Your circles look great. How cleaver of you to quilt as you go and get them finished. From the front I thought it looked like your circles were inset with the background on top, and then I noticed a photo of the back of one and yes, for sure, that's how they're done. Now I'm trying to remember if you wrote a post about how you stitched the circles. Did you? If so, can you point me to it? (If not, maybe you could post a tutorial?)
ReplyDeleteI've almost reached my goal this month but have a few more stitches to put in before I can claim a finish and post it.
Thanks!

I just found your tutorial for making the circles. Thanks. I'm going to try it!
DeleteVery very beautiful ! I will copy you for the QAYG, but in 3 long stripes...2 weeks before first panel end.
ReplyDeleteWell done on achieving your goal. Some gorgeous circles there.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on all the progress you've made, Heidi! I appreciate you hostessing this challenge for us to help all of us stay focused on our monthly goals.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is an amazing lot of work. It looks wonderful. Well done meeting your goal!
ReplyDeleteHeidi your daily dots are so amazing! Not only do they look INCREDIBLE, but I really love how you are doing them as a journal... this is so cool! I like trying to read what you wrote on the back too. The pear and the Shasta camper make me smile from ear to ear!
ReplyDeleteThis month got away from me again and I know I'm not going to make my One Monthly Goal for April. But there is always next month to try again!
Beautiful circles! I specially like the hand quilting, makes the quilt even more special. Thank you so much for hosting, I got me to finish a mini :)

ReplyDeleteI love your circles quilt Heidi! I think it so smart that you are doing panels. And your label--terrific idea, SO meaningful. Cool that you are 'with' Lara's book blog hop (me too! eep!)
