have to agree with feline fanatic that is the best way to do it, and get a consistent circle.

I use Karen Kay Buckley's perfect circles and love them.

The circle quilt is a winner. Oriental fabric is so pretty and you used it well. The quilting is also done well. Hugs

Fabulous quilts! Inspires me to do one with circles!

The "old dryer sheet" method works great for those Sunbonnet Sue/Sam pieces too!

This quilt is outstanding ... did you machine quilt it also?

I just purchased and used this circle template. It worked great and I didn't have to worry about the wiggles when cutting around a pattern, as this has a slot where you cut with a small rotary cutter.

[QUOTE=feline fanatic;6208648]You can make your own circles out of card stock, water color paper or a cracker or cereal box. I use a compass to draw my circle then carefully cut it out. I cut out my fabric circle with a seam allowance and then do a loose running stitch around the edge. Then I use my cardboard circle and place my fabric over it, centering it and pull that running stitch tight. Makes a perfect circle. Press it real good with the cardboard still in it then take the cardboard out, give it another press and spray it with starch. Then press again. Perfect circle everytime. It is how I made this quilt:[QUOTE]

That is beautiful and you invested a lot of time into this quilt. Good job.

This is a great thread sewplease. What great methods for sewing circles and what beautiful quilts. Thanks for sharing everyone!!
