Circular Anomaly Fused

There's not a lot of time right now and I don't feel very creative or original but several workshop projects are sitting around. So I can continue to push these partially finished tops and UFOs along. For example, fusible interfacing was ironed to all the second layer pieces of Circular Anomaly as each was pinned in place. They should be fused before pieces get lost or start fraying. Here's a late-night photo I took in December but never posted.

I started fusing that layer in the top right. Although the ironing time spread over several days, it only took 2-3 hours to arrange and press that quarter. And fortunately I took breaks because there seem to be too few red circles.

What about this instead? I switched out about ten kisses although some are partial (on the border.)

I'd use more circles in the top left but I want to highlight that rose. Remember? And in middle on the left is a wonderful scrap of blue circles that screams for kisses around it. Those are my limiting features.

Next step is topstitching all those hugs and kisses. Since this might be a lap or toddler quilt, satin stitch will not be a choice but I am considering blanket stitch. I don't have the energy for creative thinking or the time to try different stitches right now but this will be a good one to work on in a couple of months.

Enjoy the day, Ann
