My goal is to get BOTH of these quilted yet this month.
Circumspect on the left
inspi(RED) on the right
Circumspect started in 2018 with a stack of gifted
broken dishes blocks plus more shirting pieces and parts.
Thanks, Cherie!
This is the backing for Circumspect.
Purchased on Small Business Saturday 2019
from Bernie' shop - Needle and Foot.
(after I decided not to go with the original plan
for a scrappy backing)
inspi(RED) is my quilt for the early-2019
Ad-Hoc Improv Quilters RED challenge.
And this is the backing fabric for it.
Both backs have been pieced and rolled onto pool noodles.
In fact, after this photo was taken
Circumspect was pin basted and
the top and batting for inspi(RED)
were prepped and rolled onto noodles
to pin baste as soon as Circumspect is quilted.
Threads and quilting designs have been decided upon.
Stay tuned.

I love both of these quilts! You have inspired me to be more brave with background fabrics. I'm going to try to be more bold and brighter next year. Happy stitching!
It will be wonderful to have both quilted - great way to end the year. And oh that red - beautiful!
You are doing great. Both are beautiful. Thanks for sharing the pool noodles. I really need to get some of those. Do you join two together to make them long enough?
Lovely pieces to be finished. And both so different from the other...
Circumspect really looks vintage and the red is very modern...nice work hugs on a really cold morning...Julierose :()
Love both these quilts! Broken dishes looks like an antique. So charming and humble . The red is startling but when all together it looks perfect. Your color sense is great. Stay safe.
Oh, you and Max are going to have fun with those! Best of luck on finishing them up by the end of the year, Julie.
Circumspect is just lovely.
A goo idea to show us these two very different quilts side by side, love the story they tell. Good luck with the quilting of both before the end of the month!
Loved seeing your London Fields quilt finished up {last post}. Such a lovely, lovely quilt. And Circumspect is going to be such a cozy looking quilt after the next phase! I just love the old fashioned vibe to it!:)
great tops! looking forward to seeing them quilted
Both are great - but Circumspect .... it speaks to me!
