ANZ quilt and circles added? 19th May 2016

My week has been revolving around my surprise visit from my brother and his darling wife from NZ So very little sewing done since they arrived on Sunday. But I was working on sewing more rows of my ANZ quilt top.

Working on my ANZ quilt 3 more rows to add , decided to hang it on my design wall to see how it looked from a distance but was disappointed with it, there was nothing to hold my eyes to it, what could I do to keep the original theme ANZ but keep the eye from leaving the quilt top?

6 rows sewn together 3 more to go.All though it’s OK there is nothing to keep you looking, so while looking for some black fabric I found this black silver lurex  kimono from the 1950 1960s yes even the Japanese loved the silver look when it came out. A lightbulb went off what IF

I added  Silver Lurex  circles!!!!!  Both from the same fabric, dark is the right side of fabric and the silver is underneath I ironed on Iron- on -fusing to both sides of two pieces of this fabric and then cut out lots of circles and now I get to play with them on top of my ANZ quilt.

So interlocking these cut out circles Im adding some thing to keep the eye from wondering off the quilt so quickly?

I still have 3 more rows to add and I will cut out more circles and play some more after I added these last 3 rows then decided.  Will show you an update after I add the last 3 rows

Where I went on my Wednesday this week. A hours drive North of my home.

My brother and darling sisterinlaw building their cairn on one of the local beachs we drove past were many others had built them, there were so few rocks left they had to go to the shore line to make theres were  there were some stones still that had not been used or had fallen and were waiting again to be used.  Ginny was constantly watching her back for crocs in the water?

What Im working on today Thursday in OZ,  but it is Wednesday in other parts of the world today.
