Judy S.- Circles of Joy

Circles of Joy came about from thinking of family, friends, experiences, and life. Lot’s of circles, but how to depict it was the question. I created 2 full circles and sewed them onto 2 different squares. Then I cut them into halves, but that wasn’t enough, so I quartered them and sewed them back together. 
This quilt represents how we are one and as we add more pieces or give of ourselves we become more colorful. The quilting adds even more depth and those are the subtle things or people that we may not notice have made an impression on us, yet they are valuable.

    I love the concept oh this quilt! And thanks for explaining the construction so well. This is a beautiful quilt that's symbolic of a reality that all of us can identify with.

    Clever interpretation of the theme! I really like the quilting and its symbolism of influences from others on our lives. Your border fabrics are well chosen and the mitered border in a nice contrast!!! Nicely done!!

    So very nice Judy. And as always, your machine stitching sets it off perfectly. I love that you used so many different stitches. We do, indeed, add more circles as we go through our life journey. Beautiful!
