Today I finally took a time out to sew. Or should I say "cut". And cut, and cut, and cut!
There are 96 of each shape, all cut from various aquas & browns in my stash & scraps. This is my first attempt at circles.... maybe I should have tried one block first? Oh well, now that they are all cut out, the sewing should be a breeze. It took about 4 or 5 hours for all of these, but it should make a large-ish quilt or two baby/lap quilts.
Now my arms are aching, but I feel like I got something major accomplished. Along with everything else today, I was just longing for some fun sewing time. It was even worth staying up late. Anyone tried to sew circles like this and have any advise?

I cheated last time I did circles by not bothering with seams...I used heatbond and bascially appliqued them down ...so I cant really help but everything Ive read says use lots of pins and go slow!
Glad you got some cutting time! Good luck. You can do a tutorial for the rest of us poor slobs so we know how to do it when we get brave!
You can do it. I look forward to seeing it when you have it done or at least one circle done.
