WIP Wednesday - Quilting in circles

WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced

Happy hump day. If you haven't stopped by since last week be sure to check out my latest finishes Playtime squared and Pink-a-lime-tron and today is the last day to enter my 100th post giveaway.

I am working on finishing this lovely for the January installment of the Lovely year of finishes (LYoF)
Eggplant and Mustard

Had a little issue at the very end of piecing the top. One yard of my feather print was juuuust not enough. SERIOUSLY, fabric, come on!
 I added a little cornerstone. Nope I didn't go back and add cornerstones to the other corners. Asymmetrical corners are tres chic especially for seam ripper haters.

Here are a few quilting in progress shots (QuIPs)

Wavy lines spaced 1/2" apart. Just going where my needle takes me.

Linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced See you there!

    Great solution for your corner dilemma! I hate when you just need that extra inch and it is not there.

    It looks awesome! I hate when that happens with being soclose to having the right amount of fabric.

    I'm down with that. The quilt I finished last week had a similar problem with the sashing so I added a couple of bits symmetrically and pretended it was meant to be like that. OK so I didn't I told everyone why it was like that and that I didn't care and I've had only compliments on Flickr ;)

    Your pink-lime-a-tron quilt is fab - and the one you are working on at the moment is stunning too. Love the look of the quilting you are doing.

    Stop it with your awesome quilting! Impressive!
    I think the mismatched corner should be your signature.

    Beautiful! I'm with you on the hatred of using the seam ripper! :) The one cornerstone adds more personality to the quilt!
