I won't be posting each block every day, but it helps me to remember to take the picture and the thought behind it. I saw a row of rings that were broken like spokes, and I wanted to recreate it, but this is easier. The background fabric is also used in A Life of Plenty and the fall fabrics have been used in several different fall quilts, including Dear Jane. I like them both so I use them sparingly in many quilts. Today, I am thinking about the love of family and pets, so the x and o are quite appropriate. I didn't really mean to sew a spiral, I started securing around the circle and didn't want to stop so I kept going into the center. I thought the center of the spiral wouldn't match the center of the x because I wasn't keeping track, and I would have been okay with that, but it centered by itself!
In other quilting news, I have finished my top of the Islamic tile quilt. I have to press it and then I will show it to you. Since this is a tile quilt, I thought I should stitch in the ditch only, but that requires too much precision, so my original plan was to quilt a quarter inch away from all the seams, but I think that also is too much precision (and sewing). I'm now thinking about doing some organic lines instead. I'm not sure if that makes me lazy, or if that more honors the quilting medium, which gives you more options than tiles would.
