In the past I've really liked this approach,<br /> which is much easier than it appears in a tutorial (https://www.quiltingboard.com/tutorials-f10/inset-circle-using-freezer-paper-glue-t90945.html), and you can press the seam either way you want, for a circle on background, or background over circle. I like the big HSTs mixed in with the string blocks.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424861624240818479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-56819818834066164782018-02-24T06:03:31.639+00:002018-02-24T06:03:31.639+00:00I especially like the plaid circle in the center. ...I especially like the plaid circle in the center. What I like is that it's part of the a string block. Did you make a string block and lay the circle block on top? Maybe consider that but let the strings be the background for the circle.

I actually like your strings alone but imagine you are tired of making the same blocks over and over.
