Neat idea. I like that she removed the filter, rather than leaving it attached, as many who use dryer sheets do.

You can also make perfect fan blocks by folding the filter into sections , adding seam allowances. I did this and used glue stick to hold paper while I stitched. Got perfect small fans for a butterflies wings.

Love this idea. There is a book called Sizzling Circles and this would be a fun way to make scrappy items from the book.

What a great idea! The first thing that came to my mind, was potholders. Right size, so nice and round and inexpensive. Use her method to make a 12 inch bull's eye quilt. Site was great. Thanks!
