Drunk & Crazy. Use the "crazy" circle, cut into quaters, to make the cricular corner for a drunkard's path block.
LOL, should make quite an interesting scrappy quilt using bigger scraps for the square part and then more scraps in the "crazy" curved part.
This old gal would have to applique the quarter circle rather than try to piece it into the square part.
Good idea. I may try it this afternoon.Originally Posted by GrannieAnnie

I you are going to applique them to a block, why not just put a slit in the interfacing to turn and don't bother sewing it up?Originally Posted by Eileen De Ville
Hello: Once I have stitched the scraps to the foundation piece, I turn them over to the back, rottary cut to size (about 4 1/2" ), place right sides together, stitch all around, leaving about a 3" opening for turning. Before turrning, I clip the corners. Once turned, I like to use a chopstick to push out corners. I make up several at a time and then while watching (listening) to television, I hand stitch the opening with a heavy duty quilting thread. Being a true scrapper, I only use scraps of all sizes and colors. Toss the scraps in a bag, or basket, and pull them out and sew. More information then you asked for. Have fun with it. Your friends will love them. Eileen

I use my machine blanket stitch after I press them onto the surface of the square. The interfacing will touch the square around the edges of the circle and that will hold them in place so you can put the decorative button hole stitch on them.Originally Posted by martapr
That is sooooooooo amazing. Question... How do you blanket stitch them to squares of fabric?
