Default February's UFO Project, now a WIP!

I started this project in the 90s (Bargello in the Round I think).
I bought a fancy new tool (wedge ruler), cut and pieced strips and went to it.
The circle went together pretty quickly.
Then, I had to deal with the circle hole in the middle...and I wasn't happy with the result.
And...I didn't really want a round quilt but how in the world does someone new to quilting make a nice square quilt from a circle?

Instant UFO!

Thanks to this board and all you lovely people, I discovered Bella Bella Quilts by Norah McMeeking. Written well after I gave up on this by the way.

And now...let's get 'er done! Stay tuned!
