I am very happy with it. It isn't perfect but I hate piecing so I am very satisfied and surprised that I did so well. I am struggling with the little circles and haven't decided on buttons, dots or maybe I'll come up with something else. At any rate, I will add them later when I see how the rest is turning out. I have the triangles done and on to daisies now. I can't remember being so excited about a quilt since I did Rose of Sharon a few years ago. Thank you Esther!!<br />Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276520242094578955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-75198400013090605582014-02-21T08:52:54.704+11:002014-02-21T08:52:54.704+11:00Having come rather late to the party so to speak, ...Having come rather late to the party so to speak, I'm working on picking out fabrics. I must say I am totally in love with that mustard color you have in your compass. Your colors run close to my favorites... great minds and all that, LOL!<br />Can't wait to actually get started with this project but patience is required to get just the right colors!<br />Hugs and enjoy the upcoming weekend my new quilting friend! :D<br />Beth PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-72834305076666352062014-02-18T22:10:14.506+11:002014-02-18T22:10:14.506+11:00Three times, but at least you suceeded Esther.

I did use the paper piecing method and only made one compass...But I guess it's a good idea making cusions of those compasses you've left over now.conny's quilts en creatieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289881409570276018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-24508448777344050002014-02-18T19:26:08.646+11:002014-02-18T19:26:08.646+11:00Beautiful start!

It was just a difference of some millimeters, but way too much to fit the border on the top!So I had to make it again.<br />Love your fabric choice and the red one 'brightens it up'.<br />Groetjes<br />AnnemiekeAnnemiekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384469598782673196noreply@blogger.com
