Since I've decided that I want to do concentric circle quilting on the triangle quilt, I wanted to practice before I moved to a top that size. If you've been reading this blog since it began, you'll recognize the flimsy I pulled for this practice - the 36"x 36" wonky disappearing four patch.
This top had puzzled me in terms of how I wanted to quilt it since the red and gold fabric already has so much movement in it (visit the link to see a close up). And much like the triangles top, this quilt is all angles, and the circles are able to soften it up a little bit while adding another layer of visual interest.

I followed the tutorial from Blooming Poppies for this. The first five circles I did approxiately an inch apart, and the next set approximately 3/8 apart (no real measurement, just by eye). I'll alternate back and forth, but so far I'm preferring the tigher circles.
So that's how you do circles! I will have to try it on my next stripe quilt. Thanks!!
