I saw this on youtube. It might be in German, but in the background, you hear all sorts of different languages. Watch the entire thing - at the end, it all "comes together"

Yes Rapture. I was looking for the very easiest way - the original way was way too difficult for me. Do you think she was using freezer paper on the video, and then starch - and was that white glue?? -' sure wish I spoke the language!

I made a quilt last year which was all circles (see picture below) :-D
1. Cut out exact size of circle you want from freezer paper.
2. Iron this onto fabric, trim around leaving 1/4" seam allowance.
3. Peel off and turn freezer paper over so sticky side is up pin back in place.
4. Using iron push edge of fabric over freezer paper, it will adhere to it,(no need to snip into fabric) keep iron at right angles to paper and you will get a perfect circle.
5. Place on background fabric, pin in place.
6. Use a straight stitch, sew as close to edge as possible.
7. Turn over and trim away inner background fabric, leaving 1/4" seam allowance.
8. Remove freezer paper.
Your block is complete!!
I use a small piece of wood on my ironing table, as I think you get a much sharper edge when you are ironing the edge down and can 'hear' a small crunch as it bonds to the freezer paper.
You can re-use the back ground fabric to make slightly smaller circles, so no waste!!
Have fun! :-D
