Shine: The Circles Quilt

This page is an overview of all the English Paper-Pieced Circles I designed for my Shine: The Circles Quilt, with links to their tutorials. I have made this quilt twice: once in bright colors and once in red, white and blue.

QuiltMania and I had teamed up this past fall to bring you the free patterns, but now they are coming back here, one-by-one. As always, there are links underneath the blocks to the tutorials, but the look of the English Paper Piece patterns will be different in these newer patterns. Click on each link to be taken to the free EPP patterns. As of April 2021, all blocks are back home.

There are many good tips in each of these blocks, so by going through them, you should be able to teach yourself English Paper-Piecing. I also have a few pages of General Instructions available in the pattern for nine extra blocks of circles, as well as a Finishing Pattern, as shown below.

Circles Block 1: Swirlygig
