Do any of you guys know?

Could be Orange Peel. Check out LuAnn Kessi blogspot, sorry, I don't know how to put in the link.

It is two circles sewn together, one side plain, one side patterned. Then you sew one circle to each other, alternating colors. It could be a Phillips Fiber Arts pattern. They use the concept in the Rings that Bind book.

I found this tutorial in case it's helpful. https://craftycreativefriends.wordpr...lock-tutorial/

The difference is that the pattern shown is half circle & half square. I'd start with my circle size, then trace the square onto it & trim down the 2 sides. Layer over another full circle, then fold the 2 edges over the straight sides. The folded sides end up as straight edges so you can piece as usual.

Thanks ynglady

Bree123 - thanks for the link I will check it out

yes I agree. By looking it reminds me of how I made a denim circle rag quilt... sort of not exactly. I just would like more information before I would start anything with fabric.

I would like to have some instruction

So you sew 2 circles together - - birthing method right? Then do that for 4 sets

Then you sew them together.. just as I did for the circle rag quilt. Would that be right?

I wasn't thinking of birthing method, but I guess that could work, too, as long as you make sure you end up with a very straight edge on the fold.

To avoid that challenge, I would finish the edges of the curves first (see linked article -- it's a gathering stitch; I'd make a circle out of a cereal box the size I want it to finish, then add 1/4-1/2" to be turned under. Here's a tutorial on the process -- just substitute your own cereal box template for KKB's mylar templates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGEuyb7WNHM). Then, I'd pin baste the right side of the brown circle to the wrong side of the red square-circle. Fold on the straight edges & then top stitch around the whole thing -- especially the folded over brown fabric. Once you've done that twice, repeat with the fabrics in reverse order (red circle on bottom, brown square-circle on top). Then, just seam them together along the straight edges.

I don't think it is from Rings That Bind. I've seen it used for faux cathederal window denim quilts where you use a plastic lid for the circle and for an "I Spy" quilt from Fons & Porter. Fons & Porter sells a two piece template set called "Peek-a-Boo" that inserts a square inside the circle. Last year, seems like sometime around Thanksgiving, a quilter posted something similar to what you asked about, but it looked like magnolia blossoms. Some that she did were red one side, white the other. Perhaps they would be in the Tutorials.

YES! Faux Flowers by Tartan in the Tutorials.

It is made from a circle. Just Google and you can see a few. Craftsy has a free pattern posted.
