I'm only making a cuddle quilt for Baby Girl, so I'm going to stick with 4. I'm also going to omit the framing, so it doesn't get too big. I have a piece of minky that is 60 x 60 to use for the backing. Each circle is 25 inches across. The QAL is currently on the sewing the inner circles part. Unfortunately, I can't get the templates to print in the correct size, so I'm going to have to follow Lynn's directions on making my own, which will slow me down a bit. Plus, I still have to decide what fabrics I want to use for the inner circles and the filler around the edges. Flickr opinion is leaning towards the green.

Lily's Quilts QAL
I made great progress today. I got all 4 circles sewn together.

Just had a great idea. I should embroider something in the centers. The green wouldn't be the best choice if I want to embroider. This is pretty busy, so leaving it a solid field, might be better. I'll have to think about it. Of course I still have to decide what to use on the outside. I think the pink blends too much and doesn't set off the circles very well. White might be a better choice. First I have to make those templates.
