I made this quilt using the technique in the link. I just left them whole instead of cutting them in 4 pieces.

It seems like a lot of steps but once you get the hang of it it's quite simple and it's easy to make perfect circles.

You could go one step further than me and cut each block up into quarters and stitch together again. I will talk you through the process using freezer paper if you like the design. I got the idea from a quilting magazine which had a simpler block layout than what I did. I found this went together really easily and there is no wastage of fabric, as you trim out the backing and can re-use on another block as I did :-D

I, too, doodle and create patterns. When I have it down, I do transfer it to my graph paper book... just in case the children are interested someday.

As soon as I have time I WILL do a tute, as this really is a very easy way to get perfect circles without much effort :-D :lol:
