On a Roll with Circles

Now that I have gotten over the fear of doing the small circles, I looked through the rest of the Beyond the Cherry Trees blocks and prepped several more blocks with circles. I had help choosing that soft yellow for the basket or bowl. Then I had to be very careful to place it and start with the bottom of the 3rd stem in the middle of the bowl since I had not left quite enough length.  But as I have said before, these blocks are so forgiving in the placement of the different elements.

This will be a bowl with fruit in it. It may be the closest thing to doing a Baltimore block that I will get to for a while. I only basted on half the grapes since they are so close together. I love having several blocks prepped and ready to pick up anytime. I try to stitch a bit every night as I listen to some worship music before going to bed. Some nights that can be between 1-2 in the morning.

BTCT Block # 21

 I am being careful  to glue baste so I will not be taking any tiny applique pins with me to visit my daughter and dropping them on the floor for the 9 month old grandson to pick up and eat. I thought I had been careful at my son's house in picking up all the pins that fell until I was told that the cat found one I had missed. Not sure how that could happen with 3/4 inch pins with white or black heads falling onto a white porcelain floor with black grouting.

Round Blessings,
