Arrange all of your circles on your backing fabric. I used a roughly 42" X 42" piece of muslin. I really contemplated putting these on a white background (which would have looked great), but I have always wanted to do a top with muslin. I had this muslin lying around that someone had given me and I used a little more than a half of a charm pack on this quilt, so for the roughly $3.50 I have in this top....I figured I could chance it with the muslin.
After you have your circles arranged the way you like, pin each one down. I just used a single quilting pin in each circle.
Next, following the package directions on your fusible stabilizer, iron each circle down.
Now, using a narrow zig-zag stitch. Sew each circle down to your backing fabric.
Here is a finished circle. They are actually quite flat once they are sewn down.
And, here is a shot of some of them tacked down and some not sewn down yet.
I have not quite made a decision on how I am going to quilt mine just yet!
Love it.
