My grandson's nap quilt
#5
I started making this same quilt from the pieces that are too small for my donation rag quilts --- I have a bunch of circles cut already... the pattern said to draw squares in the circle and sew the fabric in before sewing the circles together. I spray basted the squres and attempted to sew them in while sewing the circles together--- my short worked but my seams are off a tadd - Is this why you have to draw the square in the circle first and sew the square in?

here is the photo of the test - do you think this is ok to continue?

Yolanda, I like the red and blue. It's right, but I found that if you sewed in stipes then sewed the strips togethor it was easier. I sewed the down the seams (ovals) of the strips before I joined them, then sewed down the long seam.
Matching points was a bear at times and for me it was easier using the strips.
Denim gets heavy and it's stiff so it was a bit cumbersome to finish up those last few rows.

Carol,
I have learned to never believe it when they give the time it takes to do anything! I always at least double it!! The quilt is perfect for a little boy. It should hold up well!! I like it!!
