I'm finding Instagram quite addictive. It's just so simple to connect with other quilters, see what they're working on and share ideas. The problem is that it makes you want to make every beautiful quilt that you see! The Round and Round quilt-along was a perfect example.
I was intrigued by this pattern and wanted to try it when it was first released. One of those sitting in the back of your mind {along with many others}. When Camille announced she was hosting a quilt-along, I was in. I chose a background other than my usual white - a minty, aqua-y, blue/green solid from Moda Bella called Breeze. I really love this color...
For the quilting, I tried concentric circles for the first time. I've done swirls before, but wanted to try this look where the swirls look like they're sitting on top of one another. Armed with Angela Walter's book by my side, I gave it a go. Definitely time-consuming, but very doable!
The backing is that nice blue/green dot from Scrumptious and I love how the Metro Circles in navy set off the quilt as binding.
I thought this would be my final finish for 2013, but I should get one more binding on. So hopefully one more before heading into the list for 2014. {And maybe a little wrap-up post of all my quilts from 2013?}...
