This quilt has been kind of in my head for about a year. I've had the grey sheets for many months. I decided last week that the theme of this quilt would be circles. It's for my daughter and her husband who were married last year (who says wedding gifts should be on time)!
Just like my last wholecloth quilt, I don't really know where this one is going. I know the theme is circles and I want it to look contemporary. There is an X made in the center of the fabric so I know where the center is (though they rarely are perfectly centered). You see, I'm just not the planning, tracing out kind of quilter. I would rather challenge myself to be creative as the quilt progresses. It is a huge challenge and it may be disappointing in the end but I also feel great excitement as I anticipate what might come next.
So stay tuned and I'll post pictures as it unfolds. I have two weeks to do this quilt before I must do the next customer quilt. I'm excited!
