I don't do circles .............

................. well, not if I can possibly help it.  But this is the quilt that Mr and Mrs Teacher wanted when they werre expecting Little Person, so, how could I not do circles for them?

The pattern was in a magazine (I think it was Fons and Porter?), and I really loved it too, so I was really happy when they chose it.  This was just before I was going to the Amish country on a quilt tour, so I bought loads of FQ's of 1930's style fabrics while I was there, and this is the result.  They are not the colours or the type of fabrics I would normally choose, but I was really happy with the way it turned out so I thought I ought to share it with you.  I hope you like it too.

  5. I don't do circles either, or that style of fabric, but this quilt is quite scrumptious! You've made me want to try circles .... bad QuiltSue.

    Does Little Person appreciate it?

  16. Very nice Sue!! I do love circles, but I'm not much for 30's fabrics either. I had to buy a few for a couple of row robins rows I participated in and they sort of grew on me. I like the bright colors, but still not sure I'll make a quilt them anytime soon.
