\"Orange<\/a>
Orange Bullseye squares – 1st Round<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The other day I talked about completing my squares for Orange You Glad<\/a>. Now I am on to cutting.<\/p>\n

Mostly I grabbed handy fabrics and cut squares out of them, then folded and pressed them. I didn’t spend a ton of time deciding on whether a certain fabric would fit in with the orange. I did eliminate fabrics as I was choosing, if they were too close to orange and wouldn’t show up or were obviously not suited to the project. I also eliminated all browns, blacks, predominantly white fabrics and fabrics with too much white in them.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a>
How I cut circles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I used templates I made when I cut circles for one of the previous versions of the quilts<\/a>, Seeing Red<\/a>, I think, but maybe Passionate Purple<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The paper template is a circle I made the right size by using a compass or a plate. I don’t remember as I had to use both for different sizes of circles we agreed upon for this project. The circle template is folded into quarters.<\/p>\n

The scissors have to be sharp. I want a smooth cut the first time. I hold the paper in place with my left thumb and fingers, but you can also use WonderClips<\/a> or pin<\/a> the template in place.<\/p>\n

Friend Julie has some great photos of making the templates, using the templates and holding them in place in her blog post<\/a> today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
