Put the circle on top of the square, fold the bias strips the long way so the raw edges are on one side, align the strip with the raw edge of the circle, then sew 1/4" in. After you've gone all the way around, press the bias strip out, over the edge of the circle, and topstitch around the outer edge. Cut the block in fourths and trim the background out from under the circle. Now you have 4 blocks - go play with settings!
How wide do you cut the bias strip?
