Denyse Schmidt connoisseurs will recognize my version of her "Hop, Skip and a Jump." Those of you with eagle eyes will recognize many of the fabrics from other quilting projects appearing on this blog. This was my first attempt at quilting using circular lines. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be - and I'm excited to have gained a new skill!
