I'm still trying to decide circle size (small or large) and placement (over the little red squares, or at the corners without sashing, and whether alternate blocks or every block). I wasn't sure about the circles but when I walk into the room and see it without the circles it looks very bland, so I think they will be part of the quilt. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. I appreciate it.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-62987896382829256552016-03-17T21:31:18.390-04:002016-03-17T21:31:18.390-04:00Knot for sure.

Even when I'm machine quilting I find it impossible to cut thread ends that have been secured without threading them through the layers first!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00815741923418492777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-66391420576256492772016-03-17T06:44:46.865-04:002016-03-17T06:44:46.865-04:00I am loving the progress, but where did the circle...I am loving the progress, but where did the circles go?Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280926802366902079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-42206249825414904872016-03-17T04:21:27.549-04:002016-03-17T04:21:27.549-04:00I was taught this way by a Hawiian quilter, but I ...I was taught this way by a Hawiian quilter, but I now do both depends on what I'm hand quilting. This is a good way when doing silk quilting as you don't make a hole in the silk. your wee blocks look wonderful, I can not believe you have not <br />run out of scraps yet LOL.

A knot seems more secure to me, too, and I think I'll continue with knots.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-56841940998294993822016-03-16T23:34:11.336-04:002016-03-16T23:34:11.336-04:00I have always used a knot-just seems more secure t...I have always used a knot-just seems more secure to me!

I'd be afraid of not having a knot to secure my quilting. Not to mention that I am only able to stitch from right to left, so stitching in the other direction with the tail of the thread is not an option. I guess I'll just continue doing what's worked for 30+ years. ;-)Kathy ... aka Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626590048036292030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-10766430548598608292016-03-16T18:28:18.888-04:002016-03-16T18:28:18.888-04:00I think I prefer to knot as well.

It just makes me feel that I won't have to be dealing with threads that have escaped from the batting at a later date.JoanGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296109077095410908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-60982966215053812282016-03-16T17:51:22.526-04:002016-03-16T17:51:22.526-04:00Your blocks look fun!
