Circle Play

Design your own unique quilt using appliquéd circles. This quilt is simple to make, but with lots of design possibilities - - perfect for those large scale patterned fabrics in your stash that you don’t want to cut up! Based on the book, Circle Play Simple Designs for Fabulous Fabrics by Reynola Pakusich, we will focus on color, value, texture and design flow to create patterns with the circles as well as the background fabric. Machine appliqué and piecing techniques will be taught, making assembly easy.

Supplies Required for Course

Book - Circle Play Simple Designs for Fabulous Fabrics by Reynola Pakusich (optional, but recommended)

2/3 to 1 yard of one or more focus fabrics (for circles) (Fabric should be multi-colored, with a large scale pattern. Oriental, African, large scale floral and novelty fabrics work well).
10 or more fat quarters or scraps of a variety of light and dark fabrics (for background) that coordinate with the focus fabric. (Fabric should be less busy than the focus fabric - a variety of textures, tone on tone and directional prints are preferred) - - the more the better!
Freezer paper (at least 3 yards) (buy at the grocery store, located with foils and plastic wraps)
Compass or olfa circle cutter (optional)
Graph paper (optional)
Pencil
Water soluble glue stick
Invisible thread (YLI or other good quality)
Quilter’s ruler (if you have a large square ruler, bring it), rotary cutter and mat
