Circles
Name of Maker: Linda Nelsestuen
Circles - I wanted to practice making circles using the freezer paper method from a Simply Quilts episode. However, I wanted to fracture the circles to make it more interesting so I used the freezer paper method to make large circle blocks and then cut them and rearranged them many times until I chose this very traditional arrangment. This is one of the first quilts I made that wasn't a planned gift. I took it out of the quilt basket in the familyroom to take a picture of it. My granddaughter and I curl up with it on the couch when watching Noggin.
