Moments in Time
is now a finished quilt!
It was created during the
Quilty 365 Project
hosted byAudrey at QuiltyFolk
I chose to make circles for only six months
instead of a full year since I didn't
want to end up with a king size quilt.
The background blues came from the stash.
Most of the 3.5" circles
came from my own crumbs and scraps.
Along the way, they were combined
with scraps of fabrics shared
by friends from near and far.
No new fabric was purchased.

I'm also proud to say that I did the quilting.
Unmarked liberated free motion stitching
with lots of traveling and very few starts/stops.
I even took a very deep breath and quilted
a series of connected spirals in the borders.
You stitched like a champ
without a single issue.
(we used four "L-size" bobbins of thread)
So many memories in those scrappy circles.

I shared as the project evolved.

Text of all sorts, stripes, dots, prints,
and lots of pieced-together made-fabric.
A look at the scrappy back created with fabrics
from at least four previous quilts.
And finally an overall photo of the front.
It is going to be so much fun
to use this quilt in the recliner!

Your lovely quilt turns on the head the two words "feeling blue" usually as a description of feeling a bit down, this is a wonderfully happy looking quilt!!
A stunning quilt. I'm sure it will provide many comfy moments in the future. Beautiful.
Those deep blues ground the quilt, and the border fabric really makes it sparkle. Super finish!
It's really fine!
Great finish and love your blue background.
Great quilt with so much visual texture. I love the back with all the blues. Congratulations on the finish!
Gorgeous finish with a perfect border.
Wow, Julie, this is SO cool! Beautiful blues perfectly showcase your circles. The kind of quilt one could look at all day...and then the next, and the next. Great quilting too!
looks great! and what a wonderful quilt, full of happy memories to ponder as you snuggle!
Love it and so happy to be included in your quilty pals!
I really love how your quilt came out. The circles look like little planets in the universe and the shades of blue are gorgeous.
Another wonderful, scrappy, work of art. I love a pieced backing!
I think that you did GREAT ! What a fun project, and such a timely finish !
I'm wild about the way you connected your spirals from one block to the next, and your back is way wildly gorgeous. Yep, it'll be a fun snuggly .
Oh, yes!! Now that's some fun!!! Congrats on that beauty.
Gorgeous quilt!
Just lovely Julie. These look like planets floating in space. I love your quilting, too.
The blue background makes those circles pop and your quilting happily goes along with the circular theme. It's a fabulous finish.
Awesome! The quilt, your colors, your perseverance and your MARVELOUS quilting!! Bravo!
Wow, did it take you a decade to collect those little gems? It is a lovely quilt - bright and beautiful!!!

Beautiful! I love how all the blues sort of merge (in a good way) so the circles seem to be floating; your border fabric contributes to this effect too. It's lovely to have so many memories in one quilt.
Congrats on being finished AND on creating a stunning quilt!
Oh, this is sooooo beautiful! And makes me want to run out and buy lots and lots of blues...
Muchas felicidades, es precioso!!
Well done on finishing your quilty 365 project! I have really enjoyed watching people go through this process, and your circles are so fabulous set in my favorite color! Nice quilting!!!!!
Your circles glow on the blue background, and I really like the quilting pattern you chose - makes me rethink how I planned to quilt mine.
Sensational! AND finished too - wow! Love the blue and the pieced backing. Great job!
WOW! Really beautiful!

Beautiful! I love that you used all the blues for the background. Just magnificent. Congrats on a lovely finish.
Thanks for linking up today with the rest of us! Yours was finished in a flash and it's so vivid and fun looking.:) Very inspiring!
Congratulations on your finish. Something lovely to look back on.
I love that you used all blue fabrics for your backgrounds. Even though there are so many different fabrics in the quilt, the blue still gives it a calming effect. Inspiring, as usual!
This just dances and sparkles! Great job on the quilting too!
