Planning Our Spring Circles Quilt

While I work on the Alabama Beauty quilt for my aunt seen here, I am daydreaming about the one I will start for us.  I love making that block.  The two containers I have filled with shabby chic and other fabrics that work with them are out where I can see them and think about which shapes I’ll print on which fabrics.  There is one very special fabric that I’m hoping I have enough of to use for all the outer pieces around the entire king-sized quilt.  When I get to the point of starting to print for our quilt, I’ll measure to ensure there is enough.

After all the fabric reorganization is done, I think I’ll probably have one more container full of fabrics that will also work for Spring Circles.  As I want each circle in the quilt to be made with a different fabric, the more the merrier!  It will be marvelously scrappy and have a wonderful cottage shabby chic look to it, which is exactly the look I want.

I did not get around to any blogs yesterday as our connection was impossibly slow — so-called high-speed cable was anything but!  Hopefully it’s better today.

Has anyone else noticed that on One Flower Wednesdays they get more spam comments than on other days?  I’ve noticed it now every week.  It’s not an issue as Word Press has a great system for detecting those comments and stopping them from appearing, but I find it curious that posts about hexagon flowers seem to attract more spam.

Lester was, once again, on the windowsill Wednesday.

Smudge was doing his best lounge lizard imitation on the chair.

We’re supposed to have absolutely amazing weather the next couple of days, although rain is forecast for the weekend, and I’m planning to take Friday through Tuesday off.  I’m not sure if I’ll be blogging until Tuesday, but one never knows.

  3. I will be eagerly following the progress of the king-sized quilt – would you show us what that “one” fabric is? Or you prefer to keep it a secret until the appropriate time? I am just curious! 😉

  4. I spy a pretty paisley! 🙂
    Oh, how gorgeous this quilt will be! These fabrics remind me of some that I’ve been saving also. The Paris Flea Market collection was a group I so enjoyed w/the street map and the colors. Such a nice color palette you have. Do you have many quilt shops where you live? I am just curious if you mail order or pick up here and there. Thanks for sharing and you look so organized with your nice tubs. XO

  5. love the look of those colours for your quilt.
    Also admiring Lester & Smudge.
    I am enjoying little Morty, who thinks he owns the desk top here, & hogs it all while I am trying to read blogs and my emails.
    He seems to know he is ‘my’ little fella, & he is steering clear of Gom? How curious.

  6. Oh friend, I’m hoping you have enough of that fabric to use for all the outer pieces around the entire king-sized quilt. That’ll be a lot though, ha? Crossing my fingers. It’s so yummy to see that fabric in the containers just calling out… “pick me, pick me!”
