Quilt-as-You-Go in Progress

Just before the baby was born, I put together some improv circles.  They grew and grew into quite a fearsomely large quilt top. 

For scale, each quarter circle section is 8.5x8.5. 

At some point I add some black and white sashing. 

And then this design sat on my design wall for five months because I was so intimidated by the notion of quilting a quilt that large.  I posted a photo of some of the blocks on instagram and someone suggested quilt-as-you-go.  Fun fact: I started a quilt-as-you-go project back in 2007, and blogged about it, but I'm pretty sure it's still stuffed into my drawer of UFOs (UnFinished Objects) at the moment.

Nevertheless, I went in search of a tutorial.  There are lots and lots of them online as well as many different ways to do quilt-as-you-go.  I picked this one.  This weekend I managed to get one corner done.

I've got lots more to go, but I'm feeling hopeful that quilt-as-you-go will be a game changer for me!  No more size limitations on my ideas.

Hopefully it won't take me another five months to finish up!

Thanks for stopping by!
