| 180 4" (finished) blocks joined in three sections ready for quilting. Photo from August 2016. |
As the circles are all appliquéd by hand I decided to hand-quilt it too. It's taking forever! That's not really surprising as I've only being working on it one evening every two months at the Bee meeting. So far I've only quilted a dozen or so blocks.
although I did stabilise the quilt by machine quilting in the ditch first.
So this month will see a blitz on this quilt. Let's hope practice makes perfect in the hand quilting department too. It's rather too warm at the moment to sit with so much fabric on my lap but I intend to persevere, if necessary sitting on the balcony with the weight of the quilt on the bench next to me. At least the light is good there.

If not perfect, at least faster and better, I can testify to that. =) It's a wonderful quilt, beautiful colors. I like the way you decided it was big enough when you ran out of design wall! =)
Happy quilting! I remember when you were making those circles. They do look good all together.
I love the color - the way you set the color up is really neat. Good luck on your hand quilting - if you are just going around each each circle you will get fast at it for sure and be done before you know it
I love how this looks. So many circles. The color is so cheery, too. This will be spectacular when it's finished.
Your quilt is beautiful. I love how you set the colored background to fade in and out of colors. Just gorgeous! Happy hand-quilting. ;^)
I love how your quilt looks and sending lots of quilty vibes to you. You'll be all finished soon xx
That looks awesome! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck with your project.

Wow, this is gorgeous.
Gorgeous quilt!! The circles are beautifully placed with the lighter central portions of the quilt almost radiating out to the richer colour.Happy quilting on this one.
