I do them all basically the same peppermint. I had one quilt started that had hundreds of little circles about the size of a dime.. I did the drawstring and cardboard circle trick.. then I stored them in old pill bottles.. when I took them out of the bottle they were sooo nicely creased!! It was a snap to stitch them. The same quilt also had small leaves and they also worked well with this technique.
