Fabric Requirements:

Fabric A: Dark (Green)

1 - 9" square

Fabric B:Dark (Green print)

1 - 9" square

Fabric C: Medium (Gold)

1 - 7" square

Fabric D: Medium (Gold print)

1 - 7" square

Lightweight Fusible Interfacing:

2 - 7" squares

Mark a 6 1/2" diameter circle in the center of

the smooth side of the lightweight interfacing.

Pin in place and sew on drawn line being

sure to overlap stitching at the end.

Trim seam to 1/8", make a slash in the interfacing

and pull circle through the slash.  Run a point

turner along the inside of the seam to flatten

the circle.

Press the 9" squares into quarters

to help you center the circles.

NOTE: Do not use the iron for this step!!!

Finger press the circles into quarters.

Center a Fabric C circle on a Fabric A

9" square and center a Fabric D circle

on a Fabric B 9" square.  Press in place

according to instructions for your fusible

interfacing.  Cut 9" squares into quarters.

 

Layout 2 Fabric A/C quarters and 2 Fabric

B/D quarters as shown,  sew together in

2 rows, taking care to match the edges

of circles.  Press the seam in row 1 to the

left and seam in row 2 to the right.

Sew 2 rows together and square to 8 1/2".

You will have 4 left over quarters.

Experiment with making another block.

Finish edge of circle with either

machine or hand stitching.  I used

a hand stitched blanket stitch using

a 2 strand embroidery floss.
