Finally, I'd have a use for those stitches. I will have to pick up some filters when I'm at Costco--that'll be a lot of potholders!

How about a quilt as you go block? Match your pieced circle with a solid circle, stitch right sides together, with batting. You could end up with something like a cathedral window quilt.

Thanks Karen. S...I love this for circles as well! Thanks Karen. So here is a little math for those who want a square in a circle or a triangle in a circle. For the square in a circle, remember the diagonal of the square would be the same as the diameter of the circle; so for an 8" circle the sides would be 5.65", & 8" diagonal. For a an equilateral triangle (all sides equal)in an 8" diameter circle ~ 6.93" per side of triangle...easiest to just follow this link & print out the shape on your printer. <br />Here is a link to a lot of shapes inscribed inside a circle, which you could print to scale to fit your filter. http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/galleries/math/inscribed.php?page=2&term= You can trace over a light box onto your filter or tape it up to a window for tracing. You will also find stars in a circle, & other shapes. Hope this will give you another design for your new favorite circle template.
