Round Two

 The second spikey circle of Beauty proved to be quite a bit easier then the first!  The paper piecing took a little longer as it was a bigger circle, but like I said earlier, the bigger the circles, the easier they are to sew.  So attaching it to the inner circle went well, even though I did have to pick out a couple small puckers..  Here is the second round of spikes:

The next step is to add corners to this circle to make it square.  I cut the fabric for the corners, sewed them into a square, and here is how it looks:  

Now to make that circle fit into that square's hole!
(I will go into detail on how I did that in my next post. )

Here it is!  Voila!

I'm gonna have to take my sewing machine into the Fix-It guy.  There are some mechanical problems that I need to take care of.  In the meantime, I can use my old faithful Brother machine to work on more of the paper pieces-- LOTS of spikes to make!
