I ended up drawing my centre line, laying the first "round" of the rug on it, and zigzagging it down -- round and round, until it was the size I wanted. This worked really well!

    What a stunning and wonderful quilt!!! Did you have a pattern or picture for this or was this something you came up with on your own?
