Quilting designs with circles are 'da bomb', you might say.
They look good with stripes and plaids.
They looks good with moderns and solids.
They look good with elegant fabrics.
There is a blog I read sporadically: Brain Pickings which reviews books, providing a very thoughtful and well researched recap. I came across this one today and I found it pretty interesting. Who hasn't gone through a 'friend breakup' at some point in their life?
“A friend,” wrote the poet and philosopher John O’Donohue in his beautiful meditation on the Ancient Celtic notion of anam cara, “awakens your life in order to free the wild possibilities within you.” But what happens when a friendship ceases to magnify your spirit and instead demands that you be a smaller version of yourself? While David Whyte is absolutely right in that “all friendships of any length are based on a continued, mutual forgiveness,”
there comes a point past which granting forgiveness yet again for the
same hurtful behavior becomes not an act of moral strength but one of
moral weakness — an exercise in self-mutilation in the unwillingness to
relinquish what has metastasized into a draining or even abusive
relationship.

I can relate to this with a family member. I am a better person without her in my life - sad but true
