Circa 2016 and Goodbye UFO Prize

The Circa 2016 quilt along is found at the Temecula Quilt Co.
Currently we are making two 3" finished blocks per week (3 1/2" unfinished).  Officially there are only 8, 3" blocks completed so far, but I've made some extras because they're fun to make.

I'm so interested to see what new blocks to make each Friday and eventually to find out how these blocks will be arranged with the medallion.
I love to visit The Crafty Quilter's Blog.  She has great tutorials and all sorts of interesting posts, and this month, I even won a prize!

Hi Sheri,

Love those Temecular blocks! I had been resisting the urge to join in but having made a couple of The Splendid Sampler blocks I may well be trying some of the Temecular blocks a little later on! Unfortunately we are a little upside down at the moment as we are having some decorating done - starting tomorrow, so I won't be able to stitch much for a little while, as everything will be packed away, but I'd love to start on these tomorrow given the chance!

Lucky you winning such a gorgeous prize! I have a few UFOs that need finishing too, one day!
