Could you clarify the leftover hole part? Does that mean you use the cutout hole to frame around the center of the next 10-in. square, resulting in another circle-in-the-square block? Thanks.
Your quilt is indeed beautifully done and such nice color combinations.

I did nothing larger than a queen and they would take me 40 hours to piece, quilt and bind. Now I sell mug rug for $8 to $12 and that doesn't even cover the cost of my labor plus the fabrics. But I enjoy the process and meeting people who like my work.
