I’ve been wanting to try some different machine quilting stitches so this intersecting circle quilt was the perfect way to practise a variety and showcase them. The brief was for browns and blues and muddy colours…

Your amazing!
I need to make some pillows like this, but don’t know how you did it! Can you help me? My email address is surob5@ yahoo.com
Hi Surobertson, I tried your email address but it wouldn’t sed. Instead I’ve tried to answer your question here… This is a very simple way of making a circle quilt. The circles are drawn onto visofix paper then ironed on to the back of your circle fabric. You then cut out the circle fabric with the visofix on, peel the paper off the back then iron it onto your base quilt fabric. All that remains is to machine or hand applicate the circle down and voila, you have a circle attached to your quilt. Add as many circles as your want, I also cut out intersection circle shapes so it looked like they were overlapping and positioned appropriately before sewing down. Then do your normal batting and surface quilting afterwards. Hope this is helpful. Try a web search for using visofix (or similar product) if this doesn’t make sense!
Thank you. I’m still not sure how you got the overlap. Did you join two circles or cut them and then put them together? It really is striking the way you did that with the colors and intercepting circles. I’ll check out the web page too. Thanks again.
