It’s a bit of a change for me to be planning a scrappy quilt but to get the circle effect, I have to lay the outer pieces out to make sure I’m going to have the right ones in the right spots and stitch the 3-piece units before adding them to the peel. Here I’ve laid out the four 3-piece units just to make sure that I’ve got everything stitched the way it needs to be and am now going to start stitching them to the peel for the fourth block. The grey that shows in the photo is not the fabric I’m using for the peels in this next block.
Curved piecing is something I cannot get enough of, it seems. With all the matching points that are printed on Inklingo shapes, it’s so easy to put these together and the curve in these is so gentle that I don’t even need to clip the seam allowance.
The gardener was back again on Wednesday. Our forecast is extraordinary. Friday and Saturday they’re saying we’ll have temperatures of 25C and a humidex reading of about 29C. I don’t think I can ever remember it being that warm at the beginning of April. I’d bet a lot of people go back to work on Monday with sunburns!
The weekend begins now for me. I finished work late Wednesday night and have plans — although with our weather forecast, they may get changed a bit. One of my plans is to once again try to organize my fabric into smaller containers that are easier for me to handle. I currently have most of it in Rubbermaid containers that are a bit too large and heavy for me to move easily. I found some great smaller ones at Staples last week so I plan to organize and move most of it into those. That should make it easier for me to handle things. I hope.
Lester spent a fair bit of time on the windowsill Wednesday watching the gardener.

I often do an organized scrappy like you are doing. It requires more planning, but well worth it in the end. I love the secondary design of the circle yours is forming. Beautiful! Sounds like your weather is going to be like ours. The cats must be quite happy about the gardener being back as well.

Love the scrappy look. I am longing for shabby chic-but most of my fabrics are brights!

There looks to be quite a bit of careful planning so that the corners match up. This pieces is going to be so pretty Cathi!!

I didn’t think about the planning to get the circles all the same fabric. It’s like the courthouse steps log cabin that looks like Chinese lanterns. I want to do it but don’t know if I’m up for the planning of it.

Cathi I love this pattern — your piecing is so perfect and the secondary pattern is so clever. I’ve never done one of these quilts where you have to be so careful with matching the pieces, but it looks like a lot of fun. Wonderful job, as usual — this is going to be a stunner!
