You only need a 1/2" of fusible around the circle you are appliqueing on. Mark that 1/2" around the inside of the circle drawn on the fusible and cut the inner circle out.(Save the center piece to make one of these quilts in a baby size :wink: ) Lay this onto the back of the fabric you have chosen. Fuse and cut your fabric circle out. Lay this onto the background fabric, iron to fuse. Now you lay the fusible inner circle onto the back of the background fabric and use it as a template to cut away the excess background fabric under the fused circle. Mark around the circle a washable marker and cut 1/8" inside of the drawn lines.
