I hope the picture show. The templates are from "Quilters Haven" by Charlene Bement. First I traced the template with freezer paper which then was traced on the cardboard. The circle is 12" unfinshed, the finshed block is 8 1/2"

Here is the link to Missouri Quilts' tutorial on using the circle template like caroloto did above. I saw one make out of jeans using this technique with colorful fabric in the centers and it was really neat. It is a different than the one I showed on this post.

Then I will hand stitch it down. I will treat it like a quilt as you go project

Thank you. After thinking about it for a bit, I determined that this would be the way you do it. I do QAYG this way, so this should be fairly easy. Thanks again. Will be looking forward to seeing yours compleated.

I wish when I picked up the pattern and templates the had the circle rulers where as you could use a rotary blade! Sure would save time. The one I bought years ago is thin plastic and cost $17.00 back then the pattern was $8 and it's one sheet (one sided) copied in black like you would print up at your local library...

I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, but for all the accuquilt owners out there this looks like an awesome way to make this quilt!

Since your using 5" squares what size is the backing to do Qayg?
