Should we wait til Month 3 to add circles so that we can mix the fabrics amongst all 4 blocks?
Look at the Fabric Requirements each month, pull that month's fabrics and it should be easy to see which fabrics to use.
Some people are making all the circles now, from whichever fabrics they choose, some are waiting to finish the rest in month 3. Do whatever makes sense to you.

I have been accused of being OCD. I measured the paper pattern on every sheet and the smallest circles are 5/8" not 1/2". I tried making 1/2" and they were a disaster but the 5/8" worked with KKB mylar and also cardboard and foil. I think it is because my fingers are too big but the 5/8" look fine.

I used my Accuquilt to cut out all the circles, both the cardboard [which I ended up not using] and the fabric. Saved a ton of time. If anyone is interested here is a link to the cutting assistant chart that lists where to find each size.

So little by little, my circles are getting to be nice and smooth like Sarah's. Some things I've learned....
1. Make sure your cardboard circles are nice and smooth - perfectly smooth.
2. A nice quarter inch or even scant quarter inch seam allowance around the circle is a must
3. The idea of making the tinfoil a circle and not to much excess helps a lot.
4. Take your time and really smooth the foil around the edge - tight - tight - tight
5. Take your time with the press - I haven't had any fabric scorch and it will crisp up the edges to a nice crease!
Hope that helps someone - my circles are still not perfectly circular but they are getting there!Nina-Marie

Can you suggest a way to erase the gel marker from fabric? Fabric erasers do not work so I think pencil erasers do not work either.
