I am liking the quilted circular elements!
Not all of the blocks are quilted yet, but I thought that I would share my progress. I know the color isn’t right. The quilting shows up better when I take photos indoors without the lights on.
I am thinking of filling in the blocks with stippling to flatten the background and help the applique stand out better.

When I last shared an update about the Floral Reflections quilt, I shared that all of the stitching in the ditch and outline stitching was finished.
But I didn’t share a photo of what that looks like from the back.
Now I have.
In general, I am a quilt by the seat of my pants kind of girl. I don’t usually have my quilting all planned out.
While looking at this quilt, I thought the square blocks needed circular elements.
To get started, I am going to use two circle templates.
I traced larger circles around each block using Cindy Needham’s template, and I chose a small circle template to trace ‘berries’ from Karen Kay Buckley’s assortment.
We’ll see how this turns out.

In my last post, I settled on a bow tie layout. Since then I have sewn the 3.5″ bow tie blocks into groups of 16 (4 x 4), and then into a larger block of 64 (8 x 8). I have two of those big blocks finished, and I definitely like what I see.
I am hoping that I made enough bow tie blocks to sew into 12 of these bigger blocks for a quilt.
Remember the Floral Reflections project?
All of the stitching in the ditch is done. All of the outline stitching is finished. All of the basting pins are removed.
Time to get serious about how to quilt this baby.
* Just a quick note…progress is likely to be slower than my usual slow. I will be working seven days a week. It isn’t scheduled yet, but it is inevitable until after the holidays.
Quilt On!
