Great job! I especially like your borders, too.

I've heard of a couple ways of doing a circle, wonder which way you did it so i know what's the hard way lol. I've heard you can put two pieces of fabric together, sew a circle, then cut a slit in one circle, turn right side out and press, and ive heard of using a freezer paper template, and doing a gathering stitch around outside edge of fabric, pulling tight, then ironing. hmm...you're braver than me! :)

Thank you, Barb. I made the circle using fabric and interfacing, sewed the two pieces together and turned it right side out. My problem was in sewing around the circle. Maybe I should draw a line on the circle to sew on. Or maybe I should look into that curved machine foot that I've heard about.

That's beautiful! I love the fall and funky together!

Yeah, I didn't think to pivot frequently until I was almost finished. I guess I was still in that 'straight line' mentality. :lol:

My favorite colors and theme! (Fall)

Gorgeous! I love those fabrics!
