jan, thank you for suggesting circles! I've never done them before or anything round for that matter, and it's a new challenge but exciting at the same time. I started with fan quilting in the center, probably not the best spot to start, but I traced the CD in the points and used my seam guides on the walking foot from there, it's so much fun! thank you for opening my mind up to circles and how they aren't as hard as they look!! :) :)
