I made this top in about an hour. I already had circles cut since I made them out of my scrap material from my Flannel and my old Jeans Tumbler Quilt. I also had some left over Mulim from another quilt so this is all made from scraps. I will FMQ today which should not take long. The front and back materials is all one piece. I used a glue stick to hold the circles on the quilt. Can't wait to see how it looks once done. The circles are raw edge and I am just going to FMQ on each of them. I can't wait to wash it to see how it holds up.

Looks cute. Maybe, if you have some extra fabric, take the dots over the edge so it looks kind of floaty and spacey? Try it and see :)

What a wonderful experiment. It will probably turn out to be one of your favorite things. I would think the circles would fray and give a great effect.

Funny you bring up this subject! I did a wall hanging earlier this week with the about the same idea. I did find that when I used a glue stick the items did not really stick in place (but I did a blanket stitch around each) and some of the circles did have some tucks in them. Since this was a wall hanging for my sewing room I did not take out the tucks. I also FMQ around the circles. Now this was the first time I worked with circles. I found it will be better to fused the circles next time.

I had no problems with the glue stick but I think in the future I may only use jeans...were it would be ok if it frays. I finished FMG'ing not the greatest. I have never done circles before but since this is all down with scraps I am fine with it. I would only do this for a lapquilt and for someone that does not mind the fray look like a teenagers. I still need to bind and then wash.
