This quilt was born several years ago from a picture my eleven year old grandson had of an optical illusion. I made a quick sketch and a mental note of it and filed it away. Fast forward five years and the “Twelfth of Never” was created. (The Twelfth of Never is used as the date of a future occurrence that will never come to pass.) Each circle is turned 1/12th place, like a clock. They’re positioned to give a wave effect. The circles were cut from a fusible backed, white and midnight blue strip. 225 circles were cut with an Olfa Circle Cutter and 25 circles were fused and appliquéd to each square. (225 appliquéd circles that I thought I would NEVER finish!) This quilt was machine pieced, appliquéd and quilted by me on my domestic Bernina 750QE sewing machine.
