DESCRIPTION

How many circles can be fitted into one quilt? Lots!  These two quilts celebrate circles in all forms, sizes, colours and textures.

PLEASE REFER TO THE TECHNICAL INFORMATION BEFORE COMMENCING

Size

Approx. 35cm x 45cm (all layers cut 37 x 47cm)

Materials

• Variety of dressmaking fabrics chosen solely for their circles (especially the spotted jaguar in Circles 2), a tiny remnant saved for this purpose).
• Any fabric for back
• Thin wadding if needed
• Elastic and buttons for Circles 1
• Shoelaces and buttons for Circles 2

ORDER OF ASSEMBLY

• Using the shape and size of patterned fabrics as they come, join together with at least one solid fabric as divider.
• Assemble the layers.
• Draw 2-3 circles on the quilt top – I used chalk to draw around plates and bowls in the chosen spots.
• I deliberately placed one of the circles in Circles 1 over a bike wheel with the intention of placing a button on the wheel hub.
• Stitch the circles in place,
• Trim and bind the quilts.
• Cover the joins of the circles with a button.
