Build-A-Block: CIRCLES Collection

Welcome to "We Love 2 Stitch" and another addition to the popular Build-A-Block series, the Circle Block. Most quilters have made a circle quilt, or two, using the traditional method to create a circle block by tracing circle shapes onto prepared fabric squares, cutting the circles, ironing the circles, and then manually machine appliqueing the circles.  A bit tedious, especially when the quilt top still needs to be quilted. You are going to absolutely love the in-the-hoop version of this amazing block. The Circle Build-A-Block is super easy to stitch and has many quilting design options and decorative stitches to customize the perfect project. This Circle Build-A-Block is versatile and can be used to create quilts, pillows, table runners, placemats, and much more.

There are six projects covered in the step-by-step instructions, three table runners, two quilts, and a placemat or pillow project.  The wonderful thing about the Build-A-Block series is that there are so many options for layouts and for projects.

Creating a Circle Build-A-Block is easy and is created in only four simple steps:
