Inspired By #111 - pretty patchwork


Just to put a sharp point on the rules of playing at Inspired By... the photo is the jumping off point, right?  lol 

I've changed up my 'patchwork' and the colors - but you'll forgive me, I just know it!  Hey, who said patchwork has to be done in squares, anyway?  But patchwork is known for a great way to use up scraps, which is exactly what I've done here...

MFT dies did all the work today!  Stitched Circles, and rick rack, and Out on a Limb - oh My!
One wee little tweeties from Pinkfresh Aviary set, for fun! 


I just know you'll do better … and so did my IB teamies!!  Let's go see, shall we?  By the way, we'd love it if you stitched up a little card [or three] for IB111!

Using scraps makes for a great quilt, Michele, although stitching a real one with circles is not the easiest one to make. They do make a whimsical card though and using the tree to ground them was inspired.
