Progress on the wool penny circles

It is so convenient that I am able to do handwork in the car.  My husband drove all the way to Stoney Lake, where we were going for a family reunion, and all the while, I was working on the blanket stitch for all of these circles.  I did some on the way up to our destination, during some down time, and then again on the way back home.  I was able to complete 24 in total!!

The blanket stitch is used to attach the penny circle (1") to the medium middle circle (2") and then the medium circle to the larger circle (3").  I am using all different colours of floss.  Sometimes matching and sometimes contrasting the circles themselves.  The last circle will also get the button hole stitch, but that will only get done when I attach them to the black background fabric.  I am so happy to have this many done.  These and the few I did previously, make up one quarter of the wall hanging.

When I got home, late afternoon,  I sat and had my tea, trying to figure out what to work on next.  So many thoughts going through my head.  In the end I settled on the sock monkey quilt.  I was surprised how small the row turned out when I assembled them, that I changed my gameplan on them and divided the rows into two separate quilts.  

Today after work, I'm hoping to finish assembling the first one, and maybe getting started on sewing the blocks to the set in side triangles, on the second one.  The pieces for both of these quilts are on the floor behind my sewing machine and it's about time they get off the floor and into a finished top.  I'll share pictures of these two when I am further along.  Right now they don't look like much.

Take care everyone.
