This month's block was a pinwheel. This was a difficult one to piece, since I am really really trying for accuracy. Mine weren't too far off, but they also weren't perfect.
The quilting designs this month were really fun. Two of them went really heavy through the center, which I think had a bit too much build up, and my stitch in the ditch still needs a lot of work, but overall I think these look really good. This is the first time I've done pebbles as a pre-marked designed. I don't think I would mark them again, but I'm happy with how they look. Marking them means that I got to have a lot of different sizes, and they look really good- but it loses freedom of how to fill the space if your circle is just a bit off. However, I love how pebbles let you travel anywhere when you get stuck. There is so much traveling anyway, that you can just go back over anything. My favorite of this block though is the echo quilting curves. I love the movement in it.
And here is what the progress on the whole quilt it:

Wow, those look perfect to me! You do lovely work. I've made a few quilts, but I don't consider myself A Quilter. --Probably because my aunt is an internationally acclaimed quilter! (Lura Smith, of http://www.lura-art.com/ if you're curious)
