As I have mentioned before, I am struggling to figure out how to create each new Mandala. I redid this design SEVERAL times before I decided to go for it!!
Have a look…..
I picked the Orangish thread so it would show well, and it does in the video, but sadly the design isn’t particularly evident on the quilt. Hopefully it will be more defined when the lines are washed out!!
Either way, I am very happy with how number nine is looking!!
.
As I said last week, I struggle with each one of the mandalas, wondering if I will like it in the end.
This one turned out better than I could have EVER hoped!!

Even though I made some changes on the fly, it still turned out great…..
Next week we will be starting the quilting on the 2.5-inch scrap quilt and I cant’ wait to play with all of those red squares!!

I have yet to feel confident when I am starting these mandalas, always wondering if they are going to turn out okay. Maybe I should start believing in myself and the fact that I CAN do them!!
Isn’t this a wonderful start…..
Now if I can just figure out how to finish it up!! Come back next Friday!!

This week I had so much fun finishing off Manala #7. They each have a character all their own and I love this one!!
So, come quilt with me on a recent rainy Saturday morning…..
