Rather than cutting out the circles first, why not sew directly on the drawn lines and then cut it out with a 1/4 inch seam allowance. If everyone uses the same template to draw the circles, then they should end up all the same size, assuming that they all know how to sew on the line. That way, also, if you draw a 10 inch circle, then you'd end up with a 10 inch finished size circle. I think it's much easier to sew a circle on a line then to cut a circle on a line. Another tip, cut the batting in a square using a template, so that the football edges are not filled--except if you want a scalloped finished edge. <br /><br /><br />I plan to chair my guild's next charity sew-in where we will make these QAYG Circle quilts.NancyinSTLhttp://www.flickr.com/people/nphinstl/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30700435.post-51212644297301315752011-07-02T07:35:52.089-06:002011-07-02T07:35:52.089-06:00I recently made a baby quilt using this method - b...I recently made a baby quilt using this method - but with a variation. I didn't use a template. I simply used the old "thumbtack and tape" trick to sew two squares together in a circle, then cut along the seam. This allowed me to not only not have to use a template, I didn't have to be so careful cutting the squares out, just as long as I didn't cut too them small. I then followed the rest of the directions: cutting the small slit, turning inside out, etc.Tatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30700435.post-76799214040996711012008-05-26T17:18:00.000-06:002008-05-26T17:18:00.000-06:00This is a great method!

My first attempt at the Cathedral windows. I have been wanting to try this for a long time, but could never understand the directions, but when I found your blog, I followed it and it was very easy and rather fast. I did machine stitch my 'footballs' down instead of doing by hand, which really added to the back side. I wanted to try, so it is not perfect, but I think I will invest in those hard plastic templates as I would like to do more of this without scraps... lol. But hay, I wanted to try it and glad I did.<BR/> <BR/>Many thanks for making it so clear and I am a visual learner, so your pictures really helped me understand.<BR/>Have a good day,<BR/>Karen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30700435.post-30333916986977034072007-06-13T08:48:00.000-06:002007-06-13T08:48:00.000-06:00Great blog and tutorial.

They just overlap the circles with two opposing sides of a circle on top, and the other two opposing sides of the same circle under the adjacent circles. I think they did a buttonhole stitch to secure the cirlces to each other (I don't remember for sure). The colors actually made an American flag with the blue field, and red and white stripes.
