This was one of the first quilts I made - and I had exactly the same question. A pattern develops different names in different regions, plus, the same names get used for a different pattern someplace else. I've heard all the names given here and some I've forgotten. I've even heard it called a tortilla quilt, I guess because of the round pieces which get folded over. After I made my third of fourth quilt, it stopped driving me crazy.

On the web site, the photo is done so poorly that I can't tell anything about the pattern Got Scraps.

I just saw that quilt pattern in one of my quilting magazines and it was named Orange Peel or something similar. Sorry can't remember which magazine.

Yes I agree. I saw her demonstrate this at her booth at the Paducah quilt show and baught her tools and pattern for this. She is a hoot. She has tried and failed at lots of quilting ideas so she gives great hints about what kinds of tips work and what not to skip. I like her way of doing this. You essentially have 2 quilts when finished and it's quilt-as-you-go.

This is one of the first Quilt as you go patterns. This one is made with 4 patches on one side and plain fabric on the other. Tutorial here: http://howtobejenna.wordpress.com/20...ge-peel-quilt/

It could also be done similar to the rings that bind quilt. Just cut the back circle out of any block you choose. Then layer the batting and white square, quilt the center, place circles back to back, stitch across and fold the resulting curved edges over the white and stitch down. You might want to fold under the edges of the curves before you stitch down. You can also finish the edges of the circles before you layer and quilt by cutting interfacing or material circles and sew to quilt circle, slit and turn to get finished edges before you layer your sandwich. When you get all squares attached together you are completely Done!

I don't know, but it is beautiful! front & back!

I agree with justabitcrazy. I made a jeans quilt like that. We machine zigzagged around the circle (the one above looks like it was cut from a pieced 4 patch)part of the square. What you did was to draw the largest square on the inside of each circle (wrong side of material) Then you stitched the circles together by stitching along the line. Then placed a piece of material on the inside of the square and stitched the curved part of the circle down around that material. I know what I am trying to say but not sure I am saying it right.
