Circle machine quilting diagram
Here's a little diagram on how I quilted the circles. I first drew them with a washable marker, tracing around the top of a cookie cutter container (it was handy, and approximately the size I was going for!). Then I quilted using my walking foot. I did my quilting in columns, starting at the top and making a figure 8 type pattern to quilt one side of the circle, then following across to quilt the other side of the circle below, as shown in this diagram. To get nice round circles, you want to make sure your circles are touching when you draw them on.
