My friend Chantell at http://www.chantells-creations.com/ has been doing several TIRSO (Turn It Right Side Out) sets with different shapes. I think if you look back at some of my recent projects you will find some of those shapes, especially the hexagon. When she decided to do the circle shape, I just knew I wanted to give this idea a try. Here is the end result, and as I said earlier, its just a test to see if I want to make it much bigger. I think it turned out very nice. These circles are pretty small as I used a charm pack of batiks. When I make the final project, I plan on making the circles using the 8 inch round version of the embroidery design.
Here is a close up of a couple of the blocks so that you can see the quilting detail in them.
