This is for Victoria's fun Strip Please challenge today - I "quilted" a circle of dp scraps by stitching - while I was making it I was thinking about the way women used to gather together at quilting bees to help each other finish making a quilt. By lending each other a hand and supporting each other, they made the huge job a lot easier, and had the fun of being together too. Sort of reminds me of HYCCT!

I really like the way you've used your strips to make a circle, Bridget - a great interpretation of the challenge. And your papers even look like fabric designs.
Wow, how very clever to make a circle with your paper strips and then the zigzag stitching fits in so well. The colors are awesome and the flower in the center really stands out. I especially love your thoughts about everyone coming together for a purpose. You are not only creative but very thoughtful, Bridget. Thanks for sharing your wonderful card.
