Sew scant%" seams around the circle. Use the heads of the pins to help rotate and control the fabric. This can help sew a rounder seam.
Cut sewn circles in half 2 times to create 4 equal pieces.
(Try folding drde alf and marking the edges at the fold. DCut the circle in half using the marks. \1) Fold along the cut edge and find the half way mark again. D
Use a line on a ruler to create a 90 degree angle at the mark and along the cut edge.
CUt ogain.)
Place the 2 V2" measurement on the ruler at the curved edge of the unit. Repeat on the other edge of the curve. Trim the raw edges.
and we are using only 2 fabrics.I chose the colors purple and green.
Once you have your pattern pieces cut put the round pieces with right sides
together
these look like two different fabrics but they are the same it is the shading.
Place Pins around the sides and four in the middle. This helps to hold the fabric in place as you sew the fabrics and keeps it more circular, Just a hint.
Once you have sewn the circle cut in fourths and snip the seam allowance not cutting the seam in little triangles. When asked about pinking shears, was told it doesn’t have the same effect. I found it easier to snip diagonally one way then come back diagonally returning to the other side. IT worked for me.
Then turn inside out. As you iron the quarters be sure the seam is a little underneath, it also lays better when you put the squares together.
Now sew the pieces together matching seams, circle pieces etc.
This one is one of the quarter squares. You can square up to 6 ½ inches to make the final assemble work better.
All four sections squared and ready to assemble
square up to 12 * 12
TAdah!!!!
