Sounds like something I would do! So glad we can laugh at ourselves and share with others! Can't wait to see your finished quilt. Very brave doing circles!!

We have all done something similar. When I was making my first GFG quilt I used the plastic template to cut out the hexis then drew the quarter inch line to sew along. Well, I thought I would use one of those "fancy" pens where the lines evaporate so they wouldn't show later. I drew lines on about 15 or so - decided to start putting them together and all my lines were gone! When I realized why all I could do was laugh at myself. After that I used a quilter's pencil.

The circles were easy! I just cut them out and used fusible interfacing and ironed them on LOL ... sewing them afterwards will be a PITA ... but it was much easier than sewing all those arcs! I just finished a bali star wedding quilt and am quite done with arcs for a while!

I love the waverly fabric at Walmart. I have put the solid side by side next to quilt store fabric and it really looks the same. it holds up well and I use the solids a lot.

Your blocks are really pretty and I agree that you will have less show through once you add the batting. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Shouldn't be a problem once you get it together and quilted. I think it looks great.

Love everything about it. Your white will be just fine when batting added. Carry on!!!
