I love using this method if machine sewing the circles to back ground, fast and easy especially if you have a lot of them to do: http://summeratgrandmashouse.blogspo...7/circles.html
I did this for a king size bed spread!

This is my favorite method for applique (circles or other shapes). I do not have the templates used in this video--Cut them using any template you like. I also use the VERY lightweight fusible pellon instead of the non fusible they use. Make sure you put the pellon so the sticky side will be outside after you turn it right side out. You could cut away most of it if you like, just leave it around the edges. I machine applique around the edges.
I love the hint they give to cut with pinking shears so you don't have to cut slices all around the circle.

Also, to sew the circle-tape a thumbtack point side up on the machine the radius distance from the needle. Put the fabric center on the thumbtack and the circle pretty much sews itself if you don't have a circle attachment. sew on a tack, pink the edges and trim the "window". Circles go pretty quickly, lay flat and are nice and round. Have fun.

I made a circle quilt block and I didn't cut the back out the circle but I sure wish I had. It made for a very thick layer to try to quilt through. I'll definetly cut the circle back next time I make this circle quilt.

Oh Feline, that is gorgeous, love it..
I did not cut away the background fabric on this quilt. I prepared my circles the way the link you provided shows. I hand appliqued my circles instead of machine sew them as I wanted a nice travel/hand project. It was heavy but I also double batted it so that added to the weight as well. I didn't quilt on the circles though. My circles were only 5". On other applique I have cut away the background.
