Looking around I think there are two blocks that seem to be everywhere. Is it the year of the circle or the bow tie? I am doing the circle dance.....and the bow tie is on my list for this year's projects. So maybe I am just noticing things I like.
Val at Quiltyfolk blog is hosting the Quilty 365 challenge for the circles you see dancing all over the place. These are a few of mine....I have added a half circle for a staggered layout. And i will be introducing a smaller size of circle too...I think.
Be sure to visit the linky party and see all the variations. She also has a page of details on her blog.
Bow Ties board on Pinterest....click here. I have a good collection of layout ideas....X and O, blended, on-point, even a zig-zag one! Scrappy ones, ones in batiks, artistic ones. Surely one is calling to you.
This quilt now belongs to Remy....he needed a big boy quilt.
Over at Marcia's Crafty Sewing I saw the mini bow tie challenge. 366 days this year and you make a mini bow tie each day. Or maybe for 6 months you make any size yo want? If that is the case, check out the great tutorial at Dora Quilts and she includes a size chart to help!
I am considering this.....lol.
And the cutest small project I saw this week was at Rogue Quilter blog! Since winter has finally arrived for most of us, a few snow balls seemed perfect to match the temps! Janet enhanced the tree with extra stitches and gave such personality to Mr. Snowman. I don't think I will be in trouble for snatching her photo. Just in case....go visit her for the details.
Here's a snowman image if you should happen to need one....hint, hint!
Update: Janet shared the link for the free pattern for ''Snowball'' by Kathi Campbell for Heart to Hand....click here it.
And with that I will call it a wrap. Please visit the original source for pinning by following the links provided.
Enjoy....happy stitching.

I love them all XXX
Three fun projects - thanks for sharing.
You've made me rethink bow ties! For me, they seem too fussy when they're small, but I love some of the larger blocks and different layouts on your board. Like I need to be sucked into another project! I'll be keeping an eye on yours for sure.
I made a mini bowtie quilt with 1" finished bowties. Don't think I want to make 366 of those! *LOL*
My snowman block is based on a pattern called Snowball, by Kathi at HeartToHand blog. Find her free pattern here...

I'm seeing the circles everywhere, it's interesting how people are making the circles personal. I love Remy's quilt, so bright and fun and that snowman is adorable.
