Circles, circles and more circles....

Ahem. Well, it appears that I don't have a problem with appliqueing circles anymore. Just needed a different format? lol
Improv. Woven Basket quilt
I present to you the proof. Here are 28 circle-y type flowers {including 28 roundish circle-y centers} that I worked on. All. Weekend. Long. Cut, cut, stitch, stitch. Who knew? I'm thinking it was the colors that drew me in for a great big 'ol quilty hug, 'cuz I just didn't wanna quit. You know how it is when the driving 'need-to-see-the-results' overcome the logic.*wink

  1. Oh Audrey, this is wonderful!! I've been powering through, trying to finish some long-languishing projects, but I can feel a day like this coming. It's fun to have that 'can't put it down' feeling about a new project!

  5. Adorable! Love lollipop flowers and I especially love the way the basket's fabric is pieced to look woven.

  6. What fun, Audrey. That basket-weave string basket is great. And I like the contrast in proportion between the really large basket and the small flowers. Will you make more, or will this become the center of a quilt, or...?
