Circles

The circle is complete.  Cheery spotty binding is stitched down on my "Circles" quilt. Which was my Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt for 2018. My friend Lorel and I decided on a block design and then did the challenge together last year. We did 4 circles of each months colour.
Friend FIONA of Bubzrugz has beautifully quilted it.
I love the detail within the circles.....
And the borders too......

I chose an orphan doiley which was beautifully worked by Hubby's Grandmother whose name just happened to have been Daisy.....perfect I think that it's a circle of daisies!
I really love this quilt. Such nice memories.....stitched along and planned with a friend, quilted by a friend, upcycling challenge AND every bit of it.....backgrounds, circles, borders, pieced together backing and wadding all came from what I had....challenge MET! Plus Fiona's quilting has made this scrappy quilt shine!
If we ever get cool weather again, this will be my book reading, movie watching snuggle quilt.
I didn't join in with Rainbow Scrap Challenge this year as I wanted to work on my Wings and Pretty Things blocks but it is a fun thing to do...I recommend it!
Speaking of my Wings blocks, I have completed another of the applique blocks.
So folks that's it from me....my in-house Barista has made be a delicious coffee so I am off to savour it........enjoy your day.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

    Your Circle quilt is so pretty, and the family Dooley is the perfect finishing touch for the label. What a lovely finish.

    Circle quilt is really lovely Michelle, and I am very taken with the idea of using a doily to sign off. Wings and Pretty things sounds like something I would like - and that block is very fetching :) xxx

    What a very pretty & cosy finish on your Circles quilt Michelle... with all the heat your area has been getting, it must feel like cooler days are never going to come, but they will.
    Fiona has certainly done a sterling job on the quilting. Enjoy your lovely quilt xx
