Slow Sunday Stitching

21 charm baskets were completed this week.  I'm enjoying the slow stitching process for sure.



98 baskets of 202 needed for the quilt are now complete.  My baskets are trimmed to 4.25" vs. the recommended 4.5" unfinished block due to wonkiness.  52.5" x 64.5" finished is the quilt pattern size.  I'll most likely go with those numbers--give or take.
The quilt pattern is called Charm Basket by Laundry Basket Quilts.  It is an Edyta Sitar design. 

I'm linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching here.

I also stitched circles on two Dicey blocks this week in blue (Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2025.).


I posted how I was making my applique circles using Applipops for this Dicey quilt on this post. 

Thank you for all of your comments and for sharing your tips on how you make circles for applique!  I will be trying some of them in another project.  I'll be trying to keep the circles in Dicey consistant, but LOVE trying new things to see what works for me.
