There are some patterns in the back of the book that allow you to make up your own colors, so I used this simple one and fused some hand dyes and painted fabric onto a background block that looks like the sky. The circle templates came in handy.
I used the bottom orange shape that looks like a sun, and the leftover orange shape on top will be a nice start for another mandala. I also have a stack of leftover circles and rings, already fused, for future projects.
Here's the package of circle templates made of sturdy material that you can cut around with a rotary cutter. This is the first time I've used them, and they're great. The block below is my first attempt, but I decided it looks too clunky for what I have in mind.
I don't know if I'll be able to blog over the next week, but when I come back I hope to have a beautiful completed mandala to show!
Have a colorful day

Looks nice already, can not wait to see it with stitches :-)
I really like the colors you used!
Nice! Looks like a fun project, fairly quick to finish! I can't wait to see the finished work!
I use the circle templates on all kinds of projects. I just imagine that you will come back from your trip with something really special. Have fun.
You didn't say, but I hope you're somewhere sunny - warm wouldn't hurt either. Have fun and traveling mercies to you!
Sherrie!
I so enjoy your quilt image at the top of your Blogspot, and the quote: "Life is a colorful quilt, and I'm stitching the pieces together." Wonderful! Simply wonderful!
