What's on my wall today!

Good morning!


Today I'm working on a quilt for a friend of mine's niece.  This is a variation of the Marcia Hohn pattern called "The Bountiful Quilt".  It's made by appliqueing circles on circles.  The resulting top is a bit heavier than your standard pieced quilt.  I know this because I've made this pattern once before without cutting out the circles after I have layered them, so this time I have cut out the backs of the covered circles to make it less heavy.  I am doing raw edge applique.  It makes for a really eye catching design and is a great way to use up your stash!






Hope everyone has a great week!

  1. Really pretty - I like the fabric pieces you put in between the circles as well. Makes such interesting shapes that way.
