Pemberley - Round and round and round we go

Finally, after pondering for weeks over what to quilt in this 1 inch border, I  decided to just do little circles in a row. 

At first I tried drawing the circles with a white chalk pencil, but they just came out looking a little wonky, even though I was using a circle template.  I think it had something to do with the quilt being in a hoop and I had to press hard to see the white lines.

Then I remembered the circle stickers I had and surprisingly they were the same size as the circle I was trying to draw.  They don't stick all that well to fabric, so I also used small applique pins to hold them in place.  It works like a charm.

I have also attached a picture of the next border on this quilt, and as you can see it has small circles spread throughout the border.  This is what gave me the idea of using circles on the 1 inch border.  There is also another border that goes around the entire quilt, that is also 1 inch and I will use this technique there as well.

I have also attached a snapshot of the back.
