Phased Circles – the back

I have finally managed to get back to my phased circles quilt. You know, my goal to finish for July…well, I think I will at least have it basted before the end of July. My plan for the back is to use the black, white and grey Carolyn Friedlander prints I have not utilized on the front (that will make 38 of her 42 prints used in this quilt!!)

(Pst…I could so totally make a quilt out of just this palette too!!)

I was so excited to get started on the back, until I realized I was short on one of the prints and 2 white strips (of a jelly roll). Frustrating, especially since I am on vacation for the week and will have to put it aside until I get home….where fabric should be waiting.

I did move forward with a graduating look, from light to dark to light….which means the last print I need will be added to each of the ends.

Phased Circles Back

 

So, that is where I am at this week. I am hoping by next week, that it will be basted (that will depend on whether I am traveling for work or not).

Scrap-bee-licious blocks progressing

I have been flat out at work this week, with the goal of finishing everything so that I can enjoy our vacation next week.

I have managed to make some progress on the scrap-bee-licious blocks, finishing up this star block.
