CIRCLING BUTTERFLIES

THE first row of my circles added to the sashings....

 three more to go.. my accuquilt Go! Baby circle cutter really is great--
I love cutting my x-tra index cards into circles and then using the starch and iron method around them ....

 on the left is a possibility for the side border--but I don't know--- kind of same old, same old and bland...we'll see what else I can come up with....
Oh.............. still not perfect, but better..
I love this fabric--and why didn't I get a yard of it?? ;(((

 *****************************************
Today, Thom and I took a ride and found this lovely tree to add to our front yard...
A Colorado "Baby Blue" Spruce...I love the shape and color...


We added it along our paved sidewalk leading to our front door... and what's nice is that 
it echoes the
blue spruce we have along the front of our house....



I just love this color--and am imagining how beautiful it will look when the ground is covered  with snow....and perhaps a few little wind chimes...
hanging from the branches....
("Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree...")

 hugs,
Julierose, La Blageuse (circling-euse)

    I love the circles! And I am very jealous of your spruce -- we can't grow them in northern Texas and I absolutely love them1

    You could put a few lights on the blue spruce at Christmas. So pretty! The butterflies look great with the added circle appliques. Great fabrics!

    Such a soft quilt. I'm intrigued by your quiet color scheme and the mix of circles with butterflies.
    Blue spruce are so beautiful; I'm glad you added one. Thanks for sharing the photos.
