Three kinds of emerging circles

I see a pattern emerging here.

I've been playing with a bag of hand dyed scraps my mother gave me.

Yesterday I was inspired by a quilt at my group string blog

and I started piecing arcs on a paper foundation

And I kept piecing

To get the beginnings of a Double Wedding Ring quilt.

It's all overlapping circles

just like these Cathedral Windows I've been hand stitching.

I'm also playing with little pieces of hand dyed fabrics,

this time in shades of pink and purple and blue

with unbleached muslin frames.

Those are the same ingredients for my Winding Ways blocks

although I cut these from yardage.

I don't have a big plan for any of these.

I'm just sewing and watching the circles emerge.

I'm linking up to WIP Wednesdays at 

The Needle and Thread Network 

and Freshly Pieced.
