I dug out my stash of circles with fusible web and selected the blue and grey in whatever size I had and dropped them over the blocks. This tells me several things

• I want a few circles larger than the largest I have here
• I want to graduate my distribution from bottom right (darkest) to upper left (less dense and lightest)
• I want greater density and more sizes of circles in the lower right
• I will edge stitch the circles – what I don’t know yet is whether I also want to include some embroidery along with the appliqué – I think it may be a good idea – not much, but circles of some sort embroidered with blue threads
• I’m trying to focus on something happening in the foreground rather than on the background quilt design

It’s time to start assembling the quilt top!
