Be sure to check the gallery of quilts others have made. There is one that is made from circles and is similar to a Cathedral Window.
Hi June,

Excellent link! I hadn't seen this quilt pattern before, and I think I may finally get back to making bed sized quilts because of this pattern. After making fabric postcards, bed-sized quilts just look SOOO big :shock: But this pattern has no batting or backing, and not a lot of finishing work, just the wave stitching around the circle edges. Not at all intimidating, with beautiful results. Glad for the idea about the electric scissors, too!

I was thinking of checking eBay for used denim fabric, rather than buying new denim by the yard at the store. Anyone have an opinion on that?

Thanks again,
Crystal
