I am liking the quilted circular elements!
Not all of the blocks are quilted yet, but I thought that I would share my progress. I know the color isn’t right. The quilting shows up better when I take photos indoors without the lights on.
I am thinking of filling in the blocks with stippling to flatten the background and help the applique stand out better.
Quilt On!
