I had seen the Perfect Circles demonstrated a long time ago at a quilt show, but I had forgotten about them. I like that they can be ironed. I will bookmark this page for future reference. Do you hand applique your circles? I'm not very good at hand applique, and never quite sure how I should be doing it. Do you have a great tutorial on that as well???? ~~Lori http://beyonddirtmycreativejourney.blogspot.com/ .-= Lori´s last blog ..<a href="http://beyonddirtmycreativejourney.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-new-year.html">Happy New Year!</a> =-.

That is the exact same method I learned a few years ago when I took a class on applique. Your tutorial brought back memories of that fun class, and now I can remember exactly how to do it.

It is very clear and precise as are your circles. This looks like a great way to prep for a carry along project to meetings, appointments, etc. I'll bet the yellowing of your pressing board is from the spray starch as you suggested. Probably the heat from the iron "scorched" the spray that landed on the board. I have a "big board" mounted on my ironing board that is very discolored from all the pressing that I do on it. Looks ugly but works great. The only thing I don't like about it is that I accidentally iron some fusible on it ... yep, I turned the fused side of fabric the wrong way and made a mess!!! Oh well, that's certainly not earth shattering. I look forward to seeing your circle and 4-patches sewn together. It should be a lovely top! Karen, Thanks for the great visual tutorial.
