I conceived this quilt while baking “bull’s eye” cookies from Martha Stewart Living one Christmas. I thought the concentric circles of the cookies laid out on the baking sheet looked so wonderfully graphic. The fabrics are mostly cotton and cotton velvet, plus silver lame for the binding and ties. The batting is cotton/polyester. The border is machine pieced, but the cookies are hand appliqued and reverse appliqued. Some cookies are embellished with rows or beaded “sugar.” The quilt is hand quilted. It also has a small companion book documenting the creation of the quilt.
