I just added it. It's pinned on my wall, not quilted yet. The challenge is called "whirled peas".

Please post a pic of your circle quilt, it likely is very pretty and you are being too hard on yourself. This one is very nice and I am sure yours is also.
Just saw your quilt, it reminds me of a world globe, all the oceans and seas. Please finish it, it IS beautiful and worth showing.

I agree, it's an amazing quilt and you should finish it for sure. The colors are so great for a theme of the earth.

Thanks for your encouragement. Now a few more challenges, such as as quilting motif and finishing. I would like to put piping around the edge of the circle and have it look like it is floating through the sky.
