Just passing through, I would like to know how you all made them so flat! and making the round binding. I made the circles, put the pieces together,but they still didn't come out right. another thing for me to learn!!

My first one came out kinda' bowl shape but after that they were better ... and flatter. The flattest one was the one where I sewed right sides together leaving an opening, then turning right side out and stitching the opening. They were really fun to make and I'm looking forward to the next swap. Join us!

The one that I sewed RSF and turned laid flat, but wasn't truly round. It reminded me of the what the wheel must have looked like when the cavemen first made them.

I noticed that I had to ease in some of the bias binding, making sure not to get it too tight. They still seemed curled up until the point where I turned the binding to the back and hand sewed it. Once finished, they seemed to lay flat. I think true bias binding is key...or else the binding won't form to the curve and would pull the edges out of whack.
