    that is really fantastic! i'm still amazed by how great that looks. you sure picked the right colors for that project. the circles just 'bounce' out of the squares.

    terrific work. :thumbup: :thumbup:

    Stunning quilt. Love the thread used in the quilting. Don't know if I will ever use this method, but I saved it just in case. thanks for the link.

    Gorgeous colors. I'm eager to try this method of Piecelique. I watched her tute last night. It looks pretty easy. Now, all I need to do is find the glue and the tip! I probably should just order the tip from her and look for the glue at JoAnn's or Michael?

    I bought Elmer's school glue at Walmart and didn't bother with a special tip. I found if I was just a bit careful it was quite easy to get a fine bead of glue just using the tip on the bottle.

    I love your quilt. Another thing the lady taught us, was, place the circles off center & then put another one overlapping the first one & also fussy cutting some print. For instance kids print is very cute, or other prints like flowers. You can just let your imagination run wild. You can also put a wonky border on each block.
