I’ve been obsessed with circle quilts for the past few months – I’ve made 5 circle quilts in as many months.  This is the first one I made, and it’s probably still my favorite.

The bold large-scale numerical-text fabric inspired me to create this design of overlapping circles. The skinny black bias tape gives it a precise graphic look.  It only took me a week to design it, sew it together and get it finished – and I love the result.

    Love the precision of this quilt. And that little bit of purple! Great job.

  4. This is a really fresh design and a wonderful use of fabric. I love the text fabric and the way you have rotated it in the central circles and that everything is off center. Great piecing. Great quilt
