Now you can work on the next step, setting the circles in without so much work -- just cutting a hole and then cutting a circle with a 1/2" bigger radius (1" larger diameter). Then, jusst keeping the circle on the bottom, matching up quarters similar to the way you did, and easing the hole on top onto the circle on the bottom, using your basic 1/4" seam allowance. Congratulations for being courageous enough to tackle your first inset circle for a blog hop.
