Quilt Circles without Marking
I like the look of circles in quilting. When doing a pebble type background fill, random sizes look best, BUT if you want your circles to be the same size, and you don't want to measure and mark each one........here is what works for me.
I use these sticky dots, they come in several sizes. I just eyeball a line of them, stitch around each one, then peel them off and reposition them to another spot so that they can be used many times.

Popping in to say hello! I'm still in CA caring for mom.
Jill, leave it to you to give us another great tip! Very clever! Now I just hope I remember it next time!!! That's the hard part...remembering! It's an "age" thing! :)
Fantastic idea - thanks so much for sharing
Sometimes the obvious isn't so obvious--thanks for the tip!
This is a brilliant idea!! Thanks for sharing it! :)
This is truly a V-8 moment for me -- what a terrific idea! I do something similar to this when I'm quilting symmetrical shapes: cut them out of freezer paper and iron them on. It never occurred to me to use something ALREADY CUT OUT. You are brilliant.
