Dwirling from the back

and the front.

I really like how it turned out.  Will have to wait for some quilt holders and a less windy day to get a good picture of the entire quilt.

This quilt named "Calming Circles" unless I can think of something better, was on my 2011 quilting goals list. 

This makes 6 of the 11 original quilts listed done (well except for the binding on this one-gag)
Of course, the flimsy list is longer now and unless something changes, I will end up with more quilts to quilt at the end of the year than I started with.

Not how I wanted/expected things to go. 

It is what it is.

I'm quite aware of how lucky blessed I am to be able to do all this sewing and quilting.  Back when I was working full-time, I think I finished 1 top in 2 years.  Egads! 

 But the year is still young and with summer and the nice weather I will not be in the basement sewing as much, well hopefully quilting as much and sewing less...

I also got the borders on the 1600 Jelly roll top I made a few weeks ago.

I still haven't put the bindings on the 2 donation quilts I finished....just kept moving the 1st one out of the way...I have to make something delicious and amazing for dinner. ( nah, just chili!) 

And then HOPEFULLY I will sew on the bindings tonight, at least one.
