I actually started hand piecing those circles when I first got married...like in 2005. I never knew what to do with them, but then they just seemed perfect for Stephanie. So I made a few more and finally made a quilt out of them!Natalie Whipplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978251567306345129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-70745530333325004652010-12-07T07:42:12.321-08:002010-12-07T07:42:12.321-08:00Super cute quilt!
