This is different... we had a thread a while ago about the quilt where you sew two circles right sides together, cut a slit and turn them right sides out and then sew them together on the straight edges of the inscribed square. Then you press open those little semicircular pieces and stitch them down. I made a Nine patch (it's actually more a five-patch, technically speaking!) and lined it with muslin and interlined it with flannel. It's fun because when you are done, it's DONE.

I could also fold in those outside edges for a straight edge to the quilt.

Yes I remember that thread, was really taken with the idea of making a quilt that was finished as you go so to speak. What you have done is a really innovative use of the idea, Love it :-)

Very creative! I love the look!

Very nice! I'm starting one like this made with denim. Hafta finish 2 others first though :D Just can't seem to make more hours in a day.

Oh wow! I love that!!! :-o

beautiful just beautiful, how long did this take you to finish.

I really like how graphic it is! Hard to realize it is circles because of the secondary design...wonderful! :D

Did the original thread have a pattern, I love that quilt and have to make it?

Wow this really stands out. I love your creative look. Great Job!

Really great look - and having it quilted as you go makes it even better.

that is a cool variation of the peek-a-boo quilt,they showed on Love of Quilting

I would love to have this pattern. I don't understand where you cut the slits. I love the quilt. judy

Gorgeous! I want one, whine whine.

Happy Quilting,
Sharon

Thank you! I drafted a pattern for it, but I haven't typed it out yet. I will try to do that next week, and then I will post it for you. It honestly wasn't hard.

That is so great,,,I would love to try that.. Did you just make that up or is there a pattern to with it?

BEAUTIFUL.... I have this pattern upstairs on my to do list!

Cathe, that is really pretty~~I have seen patterns for those in magazines and thought I wanted to try...Yours is so much prettier than any I've seen.

I would love tohave the pattern. I loved making the rag quilts because when you are done thats it,other than throwing them in washer and dryer. That is amazing ai love it...

So glad when older posts come back around. Love this quilt - did you ever post the instructions? Would love to have them! Thanks!!

That's GORGEOUS! I'll be watching for the instructions too!

Wow, i love your quilt cathe!!! That's exactly what ive been in the middle of trying to make for my daughter, and am soooo up to my armpits in circles, ive decided to use the fabricsw for scraps, and start something else...rggg, but looking at yours, yours is so beautiful! I tried making mine with dif coloured circles, and didnt like how it was going, but seeing it with all the same colour circles is so nice! :)

I've seen a vendor at quilt shows that sells stuff to make this quilt. The quilts are all beautiful, but the stuff she sells (templates and books) is EXPENSIVE. If you do a tutorial, I'd love to try it!

Thats spectacular! I'm working on one with 30's repro fabric. Did you use the medium size circles? You did a great job!

That is so neat!!! You are sew talented!!!!! I cant wait to see the instructions!!!

l really like this idea
thanks for sharing

I remember seeing that tute... the slits are cut where you won't see them when you turn over the rounded edge to make the inner curve of the window. The slit will be under the curve and you don't even have to stitch the slit shut because it's hidden inside.

me too!!!!!!

This is so cool. Love the way you left the border (edge) unturned for a new and cool look to this pattern. This is one that is in my UFO pile. I may pull it out next. The cool thing about this pattern is there is no finishing required. When You think it's done, It is! As many blocks as you want.
peace
