I have a spot in my gallery for the Bullseyes, but it is unsatisfactory and I need to rewrite the page. This needed, yet still undone, update spurred me on to show all of the bullseye quilts here.
I realized in looking at them that they are another color project like the Fabric of the Year quilts.
Original Bullseye: The black background provided a way for the other colors to shine out from the black.I like having each circle separate. I remember thinking how clever I was to include partial circles as well.
Seeing Red: The red background is bright and cheerful and I do like the way the loops are continuous.
Feelin’ Blue: we decided that trying different shapes would be a good idea. I had to add background pieces to prevent jagged edges or partial squares. While I like this quilt, I prefer the circular versions.
Passionate Purple: this one might be my favorite, though all of the different quilts bring something special. I like the way the loops are finite and that they are different sizes. I hesitate to duplicate the idea for the recent orange version, but I am sorely tempted.
I really want to make quilts in this style from all the colors with my friends. I don’t want to do them by myself. The element of surprise when others add the rounds is part of the fun.
It’s so fun to see your bullseye quilts all at once. I think you’re right that the fun is seeing what the other people put on for their rounds. Here’s to making our way through the rainbow eventually…
Yes! If Adrienne will be in the US for awhile longer, we should do another. This is forcing me to make an actual quilt.
