Originally it was meant to be birthday gift - but when October came and went I was optimistic it would be the perfect Christmas gift - but life got in the way and finally it was sent in April, making it a surprise for no reason present. The best kind of present!
The first challenge was collecting the 31 different fabrics. I arranged them into an almost-rainbow effect.
Once each segment was cut out, it took little time to sew together a quarter arc of each circle. The grey middle and outside sections were then added before sewing the four squares together to complete each circle.
The final quilt had twelve circles making it big enough to cover a bed or snuggle under on the sofa.
The back was made of simple length-way strips to compliment the circles.
I hand quilted the inside the circles using a spiral design.
I like to think of the circles as hugs - my way of 'saying thanks for everything'.
Wrapped and ready to go!
