There is a new monthly challenge set up at Le-Challenge and today is the first link-up party. This month's theme is "Geometrics". When I saw the theme, I knew that I wanted to work with circles and that this was a great time to try out a block on my to-do list - wonky circles.
I used the wonky circles tutorial at How About Pink Please. I hand quilted this using red thread in concentric circles about 1/2 inch apart. I didn't mark this quilt, just quilted kinda free form.
It finished at 27 inches square and I am still thinking of a name. My mother had the idea to use no visible binding and she finished the quilt with a facing binding method which I think was a good idea. The binding is on the back side of the quilt and there are no visible binding stitches on the front side.
Here is a close up of the corner.

I can't wait to see the theme for next month.
These wonky circles are fantastic - and your quilting is precision!
