I have been doing several with the 'skip and cut' rotary cutter. Crochet around the edge and then do either a picot or shell stitch. they turn out so cute and if I have a plain color fleece I find something in my fabric stash that I can cut out and applique on with a zig zag stitch. Because the fabric is so wide I can get two out of a yard. Had a lady come by and ask if she could buy one. Sold it on the spot. Love doing them.
