Hello there,
I am going to be working on a queen size quilt where I will be appliqueing a fair amount of cirlces (about 7" or so in diameter). I am going to machine sew them to the foundation fabric, though I haven't decided if I should turn the edges under or just leave the raw edges. I am leaning towards turning under the edges by using this method:

My question is if I should cut away the foundation fabric after I machine sew the circles. The materials for the top consist of batiks and the backing is flannel. Any thoughts or suggestions? I am going to quilt the quilt with an edge to edge pantograph.
Many thanks!
