at a workshop some years ago we did this and made circles about 5" round and used a long gathering stitch and cut about 1/4" outside the stitch. Then took a cd disk and gathered the fabric circle around it and pressed the edges and then machine appiqued them to background fabric. Made interesting and quick quilt blocks.
