Circles Revisited.

I decided to give circles another try.

Sujata made some and then...

she gave me some encouragement.

Isn't that what we ALL love about blogland???

Yes!

Soooo....

I began again....

Using a VERY HIGH TECH method...

I cut two circles...

Using a smallish plate as my TEMPLATE.

The rotary cutter zipped around the rim

Nice and Easy. ;)

I cut 10 slices of pizza.

I DID not measure.

I DID not worry and stress.

Zip. Zip. Zip. Zip.

I  now have enough pieces for TWO circles.

I kept my slices in the same position and sewed them together.

Almost done!

I also used some batting scraps.

If you look CLOSEly you can see I

BASTED them to the back side of the front of my circle.

I used a very large stitch.

(This makes turning the circle right side out SOOoo much easier!

and...

The basting stitches are super simple to pull out.)

I then TRIMMED the batting.

Added a backing.

Turned it RIGHT side out....

slip stitched the opening....

and.....

VIOLA!

I also added a few quilting stitches.

Two Mug Rugs.

Two Potholders.

or...

Two Little doo-dads.

I'm not sure WHAT to call them.

;)

Thanks for the encouragement Sujata!

If I practice a bit more

I MIGHT be able to get those center seams to match....

In my DREAMS!!!!

 LOL!!!!!

You know what though???

I kind of like the wonkiness of them!

Good thing, huh?
