	A Night Out In The Forest By: Juditzsuzsanna, Belgium This pillow is part of a Baby Quilt Set which contains a blanket and a pillow with the same motives. Their main motif is a big owl. When I made this quilt I was thinking about a cold night out in the forest and I wanted to warm me up. :)) Yes, yes ….. I love making quilts with appliques. Quilt size: width: 16" height: 13"
	Abstract Circles By: Sharon Elliott, South Africa This quilt evolved as I went along. The centre piece was from a pattern. It is machine appliqued and quilted on a regular machine. Quilt size: width: 55" height: 70"
	Antipodean Circles By: Doris Dove, United Kingdom A gift from a friend of left over aboriginal prints was the starting point. The designs were just too beautiful to cut up small so I featured them in the different sized circles to use left overs of all sizes. Backgrounds from stash. Machine pieced and quilted. Quilt size: width: 48" height: 60"
	Baby Quilt for Ian By: Jan Carter, California, USA Quilt size: width: 40" height: 50"
	Bright with circles By: Turid Bakken, Norway This quilt is made for a 18 years old family member. I always make a quilt when a family member is 18. All of them can chose colours themselves, and I chose the pattern. This pattern is an idea from Lise Bergene, a fantastic quilter and author from Norway. Quilt size: width: 64" height: 84"
	Bubble icious By: Marjorie Henwood, New Brunswick, Canada This was a fun little project I made when I first got my GoBaby!! Quilt size: width: 36" height: 45"
	Bubblegum and Chocolate By: Colleen, Alberta, Canada I was terrified of curved piecing, so the only thing to do was to take a class. This was the result, and I couldn’t be happier! I used a pattern called Raspberry Tea by Fourth and Sixth Designs. Quilt size: width: 71" height: 85"
	Bubbles By: Izy Denham, United Kingdom This is my own design, put together in sections and using a freezer paper applique technique. It was a wedding quilt for my son who is mad on his coffee and so the Moda Bistro range of fabrics was the perfect choice! Quilt size: width: 92" height: 92"
	Bubbles under the ocean By: Linda Turner, United Kingdom I had been reading about methane escaping from melting permafrost under the Arctic Ocean and adding to global warming. It is curved strip pieced and appliqued, circles cut and replaced ofset by reverse applique with voile added and then quilted mainly with circles. Quilt size: width: 40" height: 31"
	Bulls-Eye By: Calicojoan, Colorado, USA Bulls Eye, was born as a scrappy quilt that allowed me to “bust” thru some scraps, along with practicing free motion quilting. It as my first attempt at free motion and I loved the texture that was revealed as I quilted. The raggy edges of the circles added another dimension to the quilt. Quilt size: width: 31" height: 31"
	Cindy’s Quilt By: Carolyn Braun, New Jersey, USA I made this quilt as a gift for my sister, after 10 years she was moving home to NJ. It took me some time to pick the perfect fabrics for her. I wanted a non-traditional look to this quilt so I chose the pattern Curious Nature by David Butler. The quilting is straight lines, all roads point to home. Quilt size: width: 66" height: 66"
	Circle of colors By: kelly westfall, New Mexico, USA I made this quilt to learn the cathedral windows. When i was done i loved it, and a lady i know at the place i work(a care center) would love this quilt. So may 14th was her birthday and i gave it to her as a gift and she was glowing when she got it. Quilt size: width: 60" height: 70"
	Circles in Circles By: Nancy Barnes, Mississippi, USA I did this quilt at the Mississippi Stat Quilt Assoc. fall gathering. It was one of the classes. I love how free and easy this quilt is. There is no right or wrong way to put it together. It is a great way to use up scraps of fabrics. Quilt size: width: 40" height: 48"
	Curried Plums By: Debbie Grifka, Michigan, USA This quilt started with the idea of raindrops and the rings they make in puddles. After sketching the basic layout of the rings and circles, I added lots of negative space. I love how negative space gives a design room to breathe. In order to accent the appliquéd area, I used a different background. Quilt size: width: 48" height: 52"
	Hot Buttered Rum By: Connie Haynes, Massachusetts, USA This quilt is the product of a class with Dena Crain on Quilt University. I really enjoy the “Darner Quilt” technique. I didn’t notice that some of my circles look like baseballs until the quilt was done. :-) Quilt size: width: 19" height: 25"
	Hyperreal table runner By: Shape Moth, Germany A table runner made with Hyperreal Garden fabrics from Art Gallery and matching solids. When I was preparing the pattern I thought that sewing will not be so difficult, but it was a challenge – especially those thin yellow edges around the circles. Quilt size: width: 32" height: 16"
	Medallion Circle of Mens Ties By: yonnikka, Michigan, USA The dark green Cotton Sateen represents the color for Michigan State University. The Green/Blue stripe tie incorporates the Spartans logo. This is a custom quilting project for a Spartans Fan. Hand and Machine quilted. “Go Green!” Quilt size: width: 26" height: 26"
	Organica By: Nellie Bevelander, New York, USA This is a scrap art quilt. Trying to purge my bits and pieces of fabric has been a challenge but this contest was a great help to me. I used cotton commercial fabrics, cotton batting, muslin backing, raw edge applique, free-motion stitching and zig zag edging. Quilt size: width: 10" height: 12"
	Oriënt By: Jelly, Netherlands First I made the pieced circles and than the little circles. Wenn I had finished themI made the construction. I had found the circles in an old Japonese magazine. Quilt size: width: 55" height: 68"
	Piper’s Polka Dots By: Debbie Allred, California, USA For granddaughter Piper, an infant at the time. Inspiration was her lime green walls with dinner plate-sized pink circles painted by daughter-in-law. Scrappy squares for background, circles are zig-zag applique. Free-motion quilting on domestic machine. My original design. Completed September 2010. Quilt size: width: 43" height: 51"
	Pixellated Wedding Rings By: CathyW, United Kingdom I made this quilt for my niece’s wedding present. After worrying about managing the curves on the traditional wedding ring quilt pattern, I was pleased to find a quilt picture similar to this, which I managed to copy. I think a pixellated version is very appropriate for a modern couple! Quilt size: width: 72" height: 72"
	Put Me in the Zoo By: Sallie, Texas, USA I made this quilt for our church quilt ministry. It went to the local pregnancy help center. My husband named it because it reminded him of the children’s book by this title. Quilt size: width: 36" height: 36"
	Quilting Circle By: WaggonsWest, Missouri, USA I am fortunate to belong to a circle of younger women who gather ostensibly to quilt an amazing supportive group that shares much more than a love of fabric. Young and old, life happens and we stitch our way through it together. This quilt was our first project, a perfect metaphor. Quilt size: width: 40" height: 60"
	Sis Boom Quilt By: Allie Hartom, Michigan, USA This was my first time using pieced curves, and I was very pleased with the result. The fabrics are all by Jennifer Paganelli, very happy prints. The quilt is machine pieced and hand quilted, and I couldn’t be happier with the result! My favorite summer quilt. Quilt size: width: 62" height: 78"
	Snookered By: Dale Anne Potter, Saskatchewan, Canada Inspired by a photo of the pool table with the snooker balls & cue…. Quilt size: width: 26.2" height: 48"
	There Are Bears in My Garden By: Pam Scoville, New Jersey, USA This quilt was made for a young man in Switzerland and the circles represent things found in my garden. Machine applique, piecing and quilting. Quilt size: width: 90" height: 102"
	Tic & Tac By: Mel in PA, Pennsylvania, USA This quilt was given as a gift for a baby. Didn’t know yet if it was a boy or girl, therefore made it for either or. I had just learned how to do circles by watching Fons & Porter, and hence the Tic & Tac was born. I did the piecing and as well as the quilting. Enjoy! Quilt size: width: 50" height: 50"
	Wedding Rings By: Tammy Kuse, Illinois, USA Wedding Rings is a variation of the Drunkard’s Path pattern. I chose it to be the wedding gift for a friend whose wedding color is red. It’s bigger than I expected, at almost 6′ square, but that’s ok. Should be big enough for the newly married couple to snuggle under together. Quilt size: width: 70" height: 70"
	Wild and Crazy Circle Quilt By: Karen O, Minnesota, USA This is the 3rd quilt I made. My 14 yr old daughter has colored circles on her wall, so circles with the same colors seemed appropriate. She helped me pick out many of the fabrics. I had my doubts as I worked on it, but I think it is wonderful. Quilt size: width: 40" height: 55"
