    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.

    The circular quilt is lovely. Never saw one before. It would make a wonderful tablecloth also, for a circular table. Thanks for sharing.

    I think yours is lovely!!! Maybe a really contrasting binding out do it!! And you followed the pattern exactly. I used my own variation.
