I have already made it to the next step. If you want to take a look I just posted a current pic of it on my blog www.widgetworm.blogspot.com I like the way its turning out but I wish I had all of the great ideas people have posted because I might have taken L Johnsons advice and done a solid border and then the bits and pieces for the binding. Good luck, I cant wait to see it done.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386984359368705250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677351562725022763.post-19398935339168988092010-03-11T13:36:41.457-07:002010-03-11T13:36:41.457-07:00I love this.

I am SO bad at picturing what something will look like in the end ... and I read the comments that were already given. I guess you have all options in those comments ;-) so I do not want to add to the confusion! :-) I do however believe no matter what you do it will look awesome! <br />And thanks so much for linking to your circle applique technique!!!! I was looking for something like this for a while already. I already looked at so many quilt designs - in order to figure out what I want my I spy quilt to look like - and LOVED ones with circles. But could not yet figure out how to do it! So now I know!!!! :-) THANK YOU!Ms Muffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419580728085716299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677351562725022763.post-413644769240036892010-03-10T22:24:54.661-07:002010-03-10T22:24:54.661-07:00I am definitely no quilt expert, but I like Kelly&...I am definitely no quilt expert, but I like Kelly's idea of going with NO border. I also like the idea of doing a pieced binding using all the fabrics used for the circles.
