Things to make besides quilts: Small curtains (like for a bathroom or kitchen), purse (with lining of course), decorations for pillow covers, jackets, and most anything else .....
How to: Especially as you get smaller, it works better to NOT baste the raw edge under. Just do a running stitch 1/8 - 1/4 from the edge of your circle and use the end of the needle to poke the raw edge under as you draw it up. Makes a little less bulk at the center than basting first.
