Good morning cute people!
Today's post is all about circles.
This week I have been sewing for a new pattern called
"Lots of Dots"
so I thought it would fit right in with the blog hop!
So I made lots of small circles....
And lots of medium circles...
And lots of larger circles...
And lots of even larger 4 patch circles!
And guess what I used to make all of them?
Introducing the
by Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet
Yay!
I am finally able to announce that I am now designing my own collection of quilting rulers and templates!
They will have a worldwide distribution through the fabulous
wooohooo!
My first three rulers shapes
(I will announce the other 2 shapes at a later date)
are designed to fit precut fabrics...
and the first shape to be released at is the "Circle Ruler".
These rulers come in 4 different sizes and are sold together as a set.
The circles can be used with a rotary cutter but for the project I am doing today...I used them as templates.
The smallest works perfectly with a 2 1/2" square...making it easy to use with a 2 1/2" strip of fabric.
Or you can also use the smallest circle ruler to get 4 circles from a 5" square precut.
The next size up fits the 5" square precut too!
The next size fits a 7" square of fabric...
And the largest size in the set fits a 10" square!
For my new pattern I sewed four 5" squares together into a 4 patch and then laid my large circle ruler on the back of the block and lined up the marked lines on the ruler with the seam...
And traced around the edge with a mechanical pencil.
I cut a square of lightweight non-fusible Pellon interfacing....
And pinned my marked 4 patch with the right side onto the Pellon.
I took it over to my machine and stitched directly onto my marked line...completely around the circle and making sure to backstitch at the beginning and the end.
*It helps to use an open toe foot for this so that you can see exactly where your needle is going into the fabric.
After sewing the circle...I trimmed an approximate 1/4" seam allowance all the way around...
like this.
Then I lifted the Pellon away from the circle and cut a slit for turning.
I used scissors for this because they were right there and handy...but a seam ripper works great also.
The slit does not have to be very long...
Just long enough to turn right side out like this.
Smooth the edges and then press flat...
And you have a completed perfectly shaped circle the exact size of the ruler!
I machine appliqued a prepared smaller circle onto the center of the 4 patch.
Then I pressed a white background square in half both ways to mark the center...
and centered my 4 patch circle on top and pinned it into place...
and machine appliqued the large 4 patch circle to the white square.
I continued making lots of dots...
Using all 4 sizes of the Circle Rulers...
and using my machine to appliqué.
And here is the "Lots of Dots" quilt!
I'm happy to say that I designed this new quilt pattern...
specifically to go with the
"Circle Rulers"
I have also designed a new quilt pattern to go with each of my other rulers too!
The Lots of Dots quilt was made using my newest fabric collection...
Polka Dot Stitches
I hope you like my new rulers and new patterns...I've been having so much fun with them:)

I love those round rulers and that quilt is darling!
I will have to add it to my list of things to make. I love it!
Thanks for a chance to win goodies!
Well, Miz Lori, these rulers are awesome. I can hardly wait to get my hand on a set. I see so many possibilities and ideas in my mind's eye. Congratulations - this is going to take the quilting community by storm.
It would be so much fun to win - thank you for the opportunity.
Wow Lori, I had no idea you had designed your own rulers, fantastic! I love your dotty quilt, and your fabric is superbaliss!!! Is that a word? Your new line of Polka dot Stitches is so gorgeous, it goes so well with Sew Cherry :) I can hardly wait to get some. Maybe I will be lucky enough to win some :) I was so excited to see you in the blog hop!!!
OMG...I love,Love,LOVE circles. I can hardly wait for this yummy quilting goodness.
OMG Lori! You always have great ideas!!!! Love your rulers and your new design, I think I have to make on for my nephew :) Congrats
What a fabulous quilt - fantastic colours you have used! I love your new cutting system too, wonderful tutorial for it too - good luck with your new venture! Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on designing your own range of tools . . a grand achievement to be sure. I love the pattern created with your cirle ruler. It is so balanced in design, and the colour combination is one of my favourites at the moment. ♥
Love those four patch circles! I could have lots of fun with that. Love, love, love, the new fabric!
Hello Lori
Having just discovered your blog I am amazed by your creativity and talent. Your measuring tools are brilliant and I wish you every success.

Wow, that quilt looks amazing and you make it sound so easy with the ruler. Congrats on your new line! It is always great to know that people are looking at ways to making things easier for us all! Will look out for the set in my local quilt shop :)
What a great idea your ruler is. I love your Lots of Dots quilt.
Your new fabric is lovely and the circle rulers are fantastic, what a great idea. Love the dotty quilt that you've made.
Wow,
The templates are a brilliant idea, I mostly work with pre-cuts, so ideal.
And your pattern with those fabrics looks amazing
Oh my goodness, I *love* the circle templates. I hope I can get them here in Scotland sometime soon! The quilt you made with them is utterly gorgeous. Something else to add to my list of things I'd like to make!
What a lovely design, and so colorful, I like it very much. The rulers seem very handy.
Greetings
Congratulations. I struggle with round shapes....to put it mildly. They always turn out square for some reason! Your ruler is awesome. I can see lots of round shapes in my future now! Love your quilt.
The rulers are fantastic, I have resorted to drawing round glasses and saucers onto thin board, a chore no more. When I turn my circles I use the blunt end of a crochet hook to push the seam out smoothly before pressing.
Your quilt is gorgeous! Love all those dots and your new ruler looks as if it makes it so so easy.
You DO have a creative bee buzzing in your bonnet, don't you? Love the quilt, and I'd love to have some 10" squares.
Those circles are amazing. What a great idea you had. Congrats on having the circles distributed so that everyone can buy and use them! Thank you for sharing.
This is an adorable pattern. Love the fabrics you chose.
Such a nice way of doing circles without annoying curved piecing- I might need one of these. That quilt is fantastic!
Those rulers look fantastic - much more accurate than tracing around the crockery!!
How cute. I love your new rulers!! I always avoid circles because they are hard to do for me, but with this, I can see it being fun. Great quilt too.
Just Darling! I love love LOVE the dotty quilt and the rulers are BRILLIANT * Yay for You! :)
that quilt is gorgeous! love love love the circles. I can see lots of possibilities like green circles overlapping in a circle shape to make holiday wreath quilt.or circle shapes as bodies to make cute animal baby quilts. oh my!
What a great concept, Great rulers and fabric - you amaze me.
Your circle ruler is so very clever and I love the quilt you made using it
You are something of a genius! Quilte a different twist on Lots of Dots......and I'm loving it! Your circle rulers will 'rule'!! Congratulations! By the way, your tutorials are incredible. I just don't see how you find the time to do everything that you do!! ~karen
I love both your dot pattern and the great circle ruler.
Wish I can buy it online because who knows when will get it in Europe!
I've been thinking about circles lately and now here you are with this! Cute quilt & great rulers!
Holey Moley Lori, I'm in love! This quilt goes on my project list! Congratulations on your templates and another amazing pattern:>)
Simply fantastic four patch circles! They are amazing and what beautiful quilts they will make! I`ll bet your circle rulers will be a hit. I`m glad you are offering many sizes. This is my first visit to your blog. It`s been great.
I see some new tools that will have to be found. Lovely quilt
Congratulations on your design and your rulers, what an exiting way to introduce them! You know how to inspire, thanks for showing!
Love the quilt and the rulers are fantastic. I will definitely be purchasing a set when they become available.
Fantastic ruler and lovely quilt!
Oh Lori, you are such a creative woman and I love your rulers and the circle quilt will be on my Must Do list.
Thanks for sharing
Britt-Inger in Sweden
Oh I love this quilt. So sweet and the ruler looks so useful. So great that you design things to make our quilting easier and faster and happier! Thanks so much!
Lori, I love your new ruler. I made those circles into little mats when we remodeled the kitchen last year and I used the circle rotary cutter which sometimes has a mind of it's own. I love the idea of taking the circles and incorporating them into a quilt. My dots design tomorrow will be from one of your patterns I am still working on.
The quilt is beautiful. And you include the pattern with your new rulers...Awesome! I'm fairly new to this machine piecing game, but am finding the tools to be my best friend. Thanks for sharing your insight on sewing and your instructions and pictures are invaluable. Thank you.

Great quilt!
circle rulers are a brilliant idea! much better than plastic templates or paper!
Congratulations on a brilliant idea! These tools would be such fun to use in a variety of ways! Thanks for the giveaway!
Congratulations to you ! ! ! so beautiful creations from you! and so good news for us!;o) I would love to have a chance at your contest! I am so il love with your fabrics!!!! many thanks for this contest;o)
That is such a fun happy quilt! My friend Jean would LOVE it to pieces!
Your rulers are so clever! I love rulers of all kinds!
Congrats Lori!! I love the new circle rulers!! I'm always running around the house trying to find the right size cup or plate whenever I need a circle template :) Yours are perfect!!!!
I can't get over how cute your new quilt pattern looks in Polka Dot Stitches!!! I just love it =D
I love the rulers and your circle quilt. What a great technique for getting applique edges neat and clean!
Very, very clever and imaginative!
Ooh...pick me, pick me, pick me. I love that quilt, that fabric and those fabulous rulers. Congratulations! I will be looking for them at market in Houston...eight wonderful days of buying, drooling, touching, drooling....etc. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to win and I will buy some even if I don't win! Have a wonderful day!
I love the templates! When I first saw all of those circles, I really loved them but thought I'd never take the time to make them. I've used lids and other plastics to make circle templates but nothing that I could use a rotary cutter with. Great idea and wonderful, happy quilt!
I LOVE these circle rulers! I can't wait till they're generally available! I love dots and circles of all kinds and have made many circles in the same way you did - just didn't have any handy and sturdy ruler/templates, and I love your idea of making a 4-patch and then making a more complex circle (but easy thanks to the lines on the ruler!)
Ooops - almost forgot - and your fabric is great, also!
That is great!!!! Such a wonderful idea. And I love the cute quilt.
Super cute quilt!! The rulers will have to be added to my Christmas list, I could use them on so many projects. Congrats to you
Wow. I love the darling quilt you designed using your new rulers. It is the ultimate dotty project. The rulers look great. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love circles, and I've been looking for circle templates for ages! I will definitely be getting these. Your quilt is adorable, as always. Please enter me in your drawing. I would love the opportunity to win. Thanks!
Not too long ago I made a couple table runners that was all circles. Cutting the circles was the worst part. Your remaster with a rotating msn would have made it so much easier.
I can't decide whether i love the rulers or the fabric more, what could be better than circles made with the rulers from this beautiful fabric line!
I really like the circle ruler and your tutorial. I would be tempted to make this pattern. It's very fun and lively. Circles wouldn't be so intimidating now.
Your lovely quilt was a surprise ending to this post..I had no idea what you were going to make..hehe!
Those little rulers are the perfect idea. Love them and your little quilt is just gorgeous. So Fresh and happy. Looks great.
I love your quilt and rulers. I definitely see purchasing them in my future so I can make this quilt
Love the quilt and rulers. I definitely see purchasing these in my future so I can make this quilt

I love the circles! What a great idea and using the pellon to give you the turning ability is great! Wonderful pattern and congrats on the new contract with Riley Blake for your rulers. You rule!
I love, love, love your rulers - what a great idea! And the quilt is so pretty.
I love "Lots of Dots".
Fabulous! I can't wait for these templates to be available! Awesome!
oh "pick me","pick me" "pick me" PLEASE ! Your rulers are fabulous and the quilt is so gorgeous cheers Teri
Before I even get into my comment, let me just say that I love, love your blog! And your tutorials are so informational and detailed and easy to follow. I'm doing the row along and it is sooooo much fun and I've passed the info on to a group I belong to and they are participating! Now, your circles are brilliant! And the quilt is cute and the way you've described cutting and sewing the circles makes it sound easy! Circles are daunting but yours are easy! Can't wait to get my set! And I love love your fabrics too! Thank you for all you do!
Great idea for the circle rulers. I love your quilt -- so cute!
Love the new rulers! Anything that helps me to be more accurate is great. And your quilt is just darling!
It's beautiful! I love circle quilts and in fact have one in progress...the tool would have made things much easier!
This quilt is great! When and where will the ruler set and quilt pattern be available? And where do you get those cute pins with the hearts???
Wow! Congratulations on entering the quilt tool world. The rulers look fantastic!! What a great idea. Sure beats the plates I've been using ;-)
I always have trouble making perfect circles and your rulers and method ahould take care of that problem. Love the quilt you designed for using your ruler!
This looks totally fun to make! Love the circle rulers and the fabric. Very cool!!
This is a super cute quilt! Now I also know how to make the circles but there is no way in heck I would attempt this without using your circle rulers (I have trouble drawing a straight line :))
Can't wait to see this product out, hopefully in a Canadian quilt shop!!
Thanks for the chance to win some fabric... JoAnn
What a great idea Lori! Love the circle ruler/template. And your new line is adorable.
Well that is a nifty circle ruler! I love the cross lines to keep things nice and straight. Wonderful job on designing it. Congrats!!
The quilt is adorable, the circle method fantastic, and those rulers....have to get them. I'll be looking forward to their release. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love those 4 patch circles. I will be trying out that interfacing technique for circles.
Oh my goodness!! That is such a cute pattern with your adorable new line!! I LOVE YOUR NEW RULERS!! I can not wait until it is available to the public. I will be first in line to buy them! Truly. Your new line in my favorite so far. :0) Thank you for sharing it with us. :0) ps. Will the rulers be available for purchase right after market?
I love the look of your new rulers - they seem to have quite a bit of thickness to them (which I like). I also love that it has the quadrants marked for perfect alignment and cutting quarter and half-circles. Great idea!! Love the quilt, too!
Wow!!!!
Love your circles they are great!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Divided circles..Delicious! And the interfacing, a professional smooth finish to those large circles quickly, wonderful!! I love it!
Amazing - the rulers and the quilt.
I will be looking for them when they are available and I have just the set of precuts I've been holding off using because of "fear of circles".
These will make it so much more enjoyable.
Thank you,
Jane (parrotjgw@hotmail.com)
Love the pattern and the templates. Your technique looks so easy! I have been wanting to make a quilt with circles, but was not up for some of the other methods...this way looks much more doable :) Thanks for the chance to win! (Great new fabric line by the way - that yellow is gorgeous)
Great templates and quilt pattern!
Rulers now too?? Boy you are a busy gal! I've been following your blog for a long time and I'm one of your prolific Pinners on Pinterest so your beautiful creations are not new to me! Love your Dots project (and all your fabric, quilt patterns, well, just about all that you do!).
Okay, I'll stop gushing now....
A big fan,
Patti
OMG! What a gorgeous quilt! Great idea for the rulers too! I usually keep away from circles but this I would be willing to try. Congrats on the rulers and pattern. What a winning combinaton!

I love curves more than angles and these new rulers will be a great addition to do cirles, curved edges, and even perfect S shapes. I love your "Lots of Dots" quilt design too!!!
Well I think your circle rulers are brilliant and your tutorial makes making circles less scary! They turn out perfectly!!
I love the variety of sizes of circles - the possible pattern ideas are limitless! You always have such detailed, inspiring tutorials! Thanks.
Good idea, no great idea to use the Pellon!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the quilt, how happy it is!! Thanks for the fun, good luck with the rulers!
Miss Lori you are revolutionizing my sewing this week...I cannot wait for the mail to come...this is so ingenius. Thank you for all that you teach us....smiles..Renee

I absolutely love this quilt. Would love to own these templates, would make life so so so fun...Dawn E. Brown
Circle are one of my favorite shapes along with dots! Your fabrics are wonderful and I would be so happy to win this giveaway!!
Those dots are sooooo sweet! Just love them. Also love that fusible applique with no edges to turn.
LOVE that you are designing your own tools. The circles look awesome! I could use them for SO many different projects on top of quilting. Loving all the neat things you share with us!! Thanks so much!
I think your new rulers and patterns are fantastic, a must have. Once I tried to do a cirlce quilt and ended up with a big mess. I just may need to invest in the rulers and try again, or maybe it will be my lucky day!!
I can always count on your creative spirit to help us with our quilting obstacles. Love these rulers and fabric choices and a most wonderful giveaway opportunity. Judy C
This is so easy! I don't quilt but I believe I could follow these instructions and complete a quilt. I will be passing this on to others.
Congrads! You are such a creative lady. I love that quilt and the fabrics you designed are so perfect it in.
You are spot on the dot with these! Love circles and love the way this would give depth to a quilt. Keep up the good work. Love your posts!
CONGRAT's to you on your new adventure.. love the quilt.
Thanks for a chance
This is brilliant - congrats to you.
What a brilliant idea! I love that you marked the center of the circles so you can line up a four patch - that was a fantastic idea. These rulers are definitely going on my Christmas list. I've avoided large circles because of the hassle of making templates. I love that you kept pre-cuts in mind when you designed them. The pattern is great and looks like a lot of fun. Congratulations!
The rulers are brilliant, and I LOVE the quilt. I'm so inspired by this! : )
I will definitely need a set of your circle rulers! And the fabric is too, too yummy.

Congratulation on your venture!
Wonderful idea for perfect circles. Love the quilt.
Wow, I will have to add it to my list of things to make. I love it!
Congratulations!

Love your new ruler set and the quilt that goes along with it is adorable!!

I'm gonna keep my fingers, toes, legs and eyes crossed in hopes of being the chosen one!
Beautiful. I am so amazed at your talent! This is a stunning quilt.
Those templates are fantastic...and your quilt is a great way to use them. In the past, I have used cardboard but these circles are way way better! Thanks for this offer.
Oh wow, that is so intelligent and awesome! I can not wait to get these circle rulers, my daughter loves 'dots/circle', so I want to make her this quilt for Christmas, she will just love the bright and happy fabric also.

Love that ruler!! Great design!! The quilt is super cute!!
This is very cute and your rulers are much easier (and more precise) than using a plate. I also like that you used fabric with squares in your circles. Very clever. Congratulations!
Love the new rulers and the fabric/quilt are amazing!!! I have never been interested in working with circles but with your system - I now have the confidence to give it a try. Sure hope I win the prize so I can get started soon!
fantastic use of circles and dots - love your quilt pattern!!!!
thanks for a chance to win, too!
You are truly amazing! Fantastic job with the new pattern/rulers.
Lori, these are fabulous! And you are SO brilliant to make them to fit precuts! Good for you!!
You are truly amazing! Great job on the pattern/ templates!!
The circle rulers are awesome. They will be on my wish list for sure. Love the Lots of Dots quilt too. Thank you so much for a chance to win.
I love your Lots of Dots quilt and the tools look great - I'll be anxious to see the others.
