A Finished Schnibble ... Roundabout

Way back in July 2012 I pieced the top for Roundabout ... my choice for that month's Another Year of Schnibbles.
The fabrics are all from the Pom Pom di Paris range by French General.








During the summer holidays, I quilted it myself - straight lines 1/4 inch inside most seams.


With the quilting I was trying to emphaisze the 'roundaboutness' of the blocks ...

 
which kind of got lost with some of my fabric placement.






Not sure how successful I was but it's still a sweet little quilt.


I used the birdie toile fabric from the range for the backing.


Happy Mother's Day to all the mums out there. My family is coming for tea tonight so I'd better get off the computer and start cooking!

    Happy mothers day. Certainly a sweet quilt and all your quilting (stopping and starting!) is done so beautifully, that it does highlight the circular pattern.

    I love YOUR Roundabout. I have made it 6 times but in my layouts I always have emphasized the rounds in it but I LOVE that yours are subtle and elusive. Guess I need to make it a 7th & 8th time! Thank you for the inspiration.
