The Circle Game Quilt Pattern by Jen Kingwell Designs

The Circle Game provides patterns for sixteen different 10" (finished) circles with in common, simple patterns for their surrounds. Love it so far. Have already made Circle 1 and have started on a second. Though the book recommends hand sewing -- and I did hand stitch the first block-- a few of the patterns, like the one I am working on next, can at least be partially worked up with machine piecing. I have loads of quilt books and wasn't looking to add any more to my collection, but I talked myself into this one because each of the circles represented a technique or pattern I'd long been wanting to make or tackle and The Circle Game offered a disciplined approach for doing so (plus a way to use up fabric scraps!). If you are a beginning quilter, this book might be a little over your head. Besides going for more traditional quilt blocks to help you learn skills I would recommend Tula Pink's 100 City Blocks instead of trying The Circle Game. If you are a quilter experienced with making accurate templates and doing hand piecing and are looking for a challenge that includes and some whimsical, pretty blocks, you may enjoy The Circle Game. The print in the book I received is very good. The instructions are minimal (which is also where experience kicks in) . When I was sewing on the second surround I discovered the pattern in the book was 1/8" too small, so the book isn't error free. I used thin packaging plastic and plastic cutting mats from a dollar store, both of which are easy to mark and cut with scissors, to make inexpensive templates. After I finish the circles as full-sized I'm hoping to make some of them again in smaller form, either by reprinting them in reduced size or re-working out the patterns in smaller version by hand. The Circle Game would be a worthwhile project to work on as a block of the week/month challenge with a group of fellow quilters. (I'm going to finish mine with a different border.) Happy Quilting!

It's a quilt pattern?

Nice quilts but the printing appears to be done on an old back office style printer.

I am looking forward to making the quilt from this amazing book.

Loved the book!!

The directions are very confusing. Have found a class in august to take
