WOOFA Report

I made a little bit of progress on a project this month, and had one bright idea.

I basted my Plaid-ish quilt top 3 weeks ago, then in the week after that I stitched in the ditch between the blocks, but didn't take any photos of that.

I couldn't really decide how I wanted to quilt it, but yesterday afternoon I thought I better just jump in and do something. So I started quilting some circles:

I'm using my Westalee "Circles on Quilts" rulers. These rulers rotate around a pin, which goes in from the back of the quilt, leaving the sharp pointy bit sticking up. No matter how careful I am, I always manage to stab myself on that pointy pin. But can you see my bright idea in the photo above? The black thing is a rubber pin back off one of my enamel pin badges. No more holes in my fingers! It was much easier not having to constantly worry about where the pin was. I wonder why the company never included any protective stopper for that pin?

I've now quilted about 20% of the quilt, so it will be a while before I can cross this one off my list:

Didn't stab myself once while quilting these circles!

Linked to Cheryll's WOOFA Link-up Party. I'm sure other people will have achieved more than me this month, but I have made some progress, and also solved a problem, so the month wasn't a write-off.
