Sue Ross - Circles of Fun Quilt

I have been going along to Material Obsession to classes with Sue Ross for a while now.  Sue has an amazing way of combining different fabrics, designs and colours which you'd never expect to put together.  Her quilts are phenomenal, and at first trying to pull something together which tool a similar approach was challenging, stressful even.  But after a while it was just liberating.  Sue's recent quilts have included "Circles of Fun".  And it's fair to say that this has been a difficult journey for me from start to finish.  A decision early on to use a colour wheel for the outer circle really impacted what I could do for the next two wheels ... and the border .... and the centres... And then the rotten things wouldn't sit flat and I ended up unpicking 1mm seams (gotta love that foundation piecing ... not).  But here it is looking pretty nice, even if I do say so myself.

By contrast, this dinozag for my nearly 8yo has been a dream to put together.  Skulls aren't quite my thing, but they make someone happy ... and it does go to show that for this design you really can put anything together.
