Happy Easter
I came across a quilt competition recently with the theme 'circles'. I have wanted to make a circle quilt for a long time, so I decided to have a go. I came up with this quilt which I have called Eccentric Concentrics. I didn't end up with the quilt in the competition as didn't send it in in time, however I had a lot of fun creating it and appliqueing all those circles!
I quilted it in stipple and swirls and circles all the while loving the Kaffe Fassett florals and spots, and the Amy Butler spots. Each fabric has a spot or circle on it somewhere.
I had so much fun with this quilt I decided to put some applique on the back of it too. Doesn't the Kaffe Fassett 'Targets' fabric jump out at you?
Kaffe's 'Big Blooms' fabric makes lovely applique flowers. I love the look the quilting makes on the back of the quilt.
I hope you have a wonderful Easter. My heart is always thankful as I remember what Jesus has done for me.
