Lost My Marbles

It's official. I'm tired of this project. It's been fun to come up with new designs for each circle but it's also been a little tedious and stressful because I'm running out of ideas. Now I just want to get it done and I'm OK with that. This was never intended to be a "special" quilt and I have no plans of ever entering it in a show or anything. It will ultimately be a bed quilt. The sole purpose of the quilt was to a learning exercise and it's certainly been that! I've really explored by ruler collection and have dozens of ideas for using then on new projects. So now I'm determined to get this wrapped up and move on.

This week I've been working on finishing up the small circles and next I'll start the 18 04 19 big circles. Here are all of the rest of the small circles. I'm excited to have them done and I think I came up with some good new designs with them.

6 segments, straight line ruler, turning points marked along an arc

4 segments, spiral template, cool effect but very difficult

15 segments, skip 7, heart ruler

16 segments, 3 ProPebbles rulers, largest curcle at N, S E and W, Next smallest on each side and smallest ay NE, SE, NW and SW - surprisingly cool effect

18 segments 1st pass, pro pebble circle skip[ping 1 straight edge star in center skipping 7

6 segments, skip 1 using pointy edge of a French curve then edge the design with smooth side of French curve

14 segments, skip 5 with heart ruler

4 segments, full circle at each point with 4" circle, travel to each point with 3.5" circle

It was fun to end with this one, concentric circles off 1 point in 1/4 and 1/2 inch increments

Now to get started on the big circles!
