ABC Graphic Circle Stencil -- Tutorial in As the Bobbin Turns

 When I designed the ABC Stencils, I intended for them to be used lined up in borders in a "mix and match" fashion.  After using them for a while, I'm discovering they are super-flexible and can be used for much more than borders.

I used my ABC Graphic Circle Stencil on a quilt as an edge-to-edge design and I had to make it fit the natural markings of my quilt.  It was simple and the quilting turned out great!

I started this quilt but set it aside because I was angry with it.  I finished it, angrily, at a quilt retreat last September.  Fortunately, the machine quilting didn't make me angry and I now love this quilt!

I filmed a quilting tutorial for this quilt and it is now uploaded into As The Bobbin Turns, my collection of subscriber-only videos.  You can subscribe monthly or annually and get an over-the-shoulder look at my machine-quilting decisions.

Have you ever put a quilt in time out because it was misbehaving?  How did you change your feelings toward that quilt?
