Crop Circles

One of the projects I've been working on lately was only imagined when I added it to my Q3 Finish-A-Long list, so it's been fun to make some real progress on it! If you remember, I started with a big ole stack of green prints.

It was fortuitous that when I was inspired to make an all-green quilt, the green stack in my stash was also the tallest, so I had plenty to choose from! I was surprised how few "green green" (kelly green?) prints I had, but for this project, I found quite a range worked well together.

The Clammy 12" from Latifah Saafir has been my sidekick for this, and even making full circles has been a breeze.

I've been fairly random about putting the greens together, making 10 different block styles.

The one negative about this kind of scrappy-style process is once you put all the blocks together, no matter how you arrange them, you see the same fabrics too close, etc. So I'm still fiddling with the final layout, though I don't expect to mess with that too long. I'm anxious to get all these together and start quilting, whatever that might look like.

When I was first smitten by the original design, I was kind of regretting that so many curves would be involved. So I'm a little surprised how much I enjoyed making all of them! Isn't it great when that happens?
