Center for Dresden plate
#3
I use a circle template to trace onto interfacing, then sew this (right sides together) to the fabric I want for the center. Trim around with pinking shears to about 1/8" .. Cut small slit in interfacing and turn. Press well.
I have the plastic circle templates I bought from Joann's - there is 5 different sizes.

make a template out of something like poster board
cut the fabric bigger than template (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch )
hand stitch around the outer edge of fabric
pull tight under to make it fix nicely around template, like making a yo yo
PRESS from the top
lossen thread
remove template
you should have a nice perfect circle to stitch to your your quilt !!!!!!
