"Circles of Life" is just such a quilt:

Circles of Life was inspired by a very dear family friend in need of a quilty 'HUG', coupled with a colorful Moda jelly roll - which brought to mind our dear family friend, Ashley.

Combined w/additional Kaffe Fassett fabrics from a previous wedding quilt project, this quilt became exactly what we were hoping for!
With strips and circles, along with a Circle of Life quilt design, we think we accomplished what we set out to do - a colorful 'quilty' hug, designed and created especially for our dear family friend.

Time for some Circles:
Cutting circles is easy & FUN w/AccuQuilt GO! circle dies:
Time to applique those circles in place:
 |
| Using the small applique stitch w/coordinating cotton threads to ensure the circles are securely attached to the quilt top |
Once all the circles are attached, time to quilt!
