Earlier this year, I signed up for the MQG annual Michael Miller challenge.\u00a0\u00a0 The fabrics this year are from the Glitz collection<\/a> – gold or silver designs on black or white backgrounds.\u00a0 Each participant received 6 of these fabrics.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The entry deadline is quickly approaching – November 30th – so it’s time to decide what I will do for this challenge.\u00a0 I had several design ideas including (of course!) several that incorporated circles. \u00a0 The fabric was sent in fat-eighth cuts (approximately 9 x 21 inches), and these skinny widths somewhat restricted some of my design ideas.\u00a0 I decided on a simple circle design, with improv-strip piecing.\u00a0\u00a0 Here’s my initial design.<\/p>\n

\"MM<\/a><\/p>\n

I made freezer paper templates for the circle and background, then randomly cut strips and sewed them together to cover the freezer paper templates.\u00a0 The seam allowance of the circle has been pressed over the edge of the template, and will be machine appliqued to the background.\u00a0 Here it is on my design wall.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now I’m debating with myself how to quilt it.\u00a0 I considered some sort of straight-line stitching, but now I’m thinking a spiral pattern starting from the center of the circle.\u00a0 I have some gold viscose thread that I think will blend well with all the fabrics.<\/p>\n
