    I started one of these as a sort of I Spy for a donation quilt and have about half the circles done. I also sewed a few together to see how it would work, but yours is so nice I may have to modify mine. The yo-yo idea would really help mine where the squares come together.

    Not sure exactly what it is called. Quilters Haven is the web site, Charlie is the lady that designed this. I met her at the Trinity Valley Quilt Show in Fort Worth. She has a number of books and special rulers you use to make the circles. Check out her web site.

    Your little yo-yo's are the ultimate touch. I love anything that is QAYG. This one is great and a technique I had forgotten about. Thanks for the reminder.

    Much easier to do than cathedral window. Check out post from NGeorgia, she gave Quilters Haven, which I used plus another one that gives free instructions. I do recommend that you use Thermore batting, as it is quite thin and works well when you turn your petals.
