April Rivervalley Block of the Month

This month's block is brought to us by Carol.  Carol wants everyone to let their creativity take over so that they can make a unique block.

To start, pick a background fabric and cut a 13 inch square.  After your appliqué is done, you can trim it to 12 1/2.

Decide how many and what size you want your circles to be.  Audition circles by using a paper pattern.



I decided to use some acrylic templates I had instead of paper.

Appliqué your circles by any method you prefer.


I fused my circles in place.  As you can see, I changed my mind on the smaller circle size and varied the placement a bit.




Paulette is still trying to decide which placement she prefers.  The strip on the background fabric is made up with circles.  She has taken circles to the extreme.

I can hardly wait to see what Carol has come up with!  Have fun everyone.
