Cut Perfect Circles for a Quilt with the TrueCut 360 Circle Cutter

by Paul Leger

It’s been a while since I’ve done anything with circles, so I decided to play with the TRUECUT 360 Circle Cutter for some quilting projects. Circles can be a fantastic addition to quilts, whether for appliqué designs, patchwork, or decorative elements. I’ll demonstrate how easy and enjoyable it is to use this tool to cut perfect circles, which can really elevate your quilting designs. This cutter not only saves time but also ensures precision, making it a great asset for anyone looking to incorporate round shapes into their quilt. I can’t wait to show you the results!

I purposely used the word ‘play’ in the opening paragraph because this week we’re not only ‘playing’ with the circle cutter, but also creating a quilt that is an easy game to amuse everyone.

This week’s notions and tools for making a fun quilt

Two fabrics for this week’s project, a light cream for the background and a dark blue for the circles.

Fabrics I chose for this week’s quilt

I’m going to love this week as I get to use my favorite circle-cutting tool, TRUECUT 360 Circle Cutter. It takes only seconds to cut each circle!

Now, a little piece of advice: pick up a spare TRUECUT Replacement Blade for the 360 Circle Cutter. Having a spare is a classic cat-and-mouse game: if we have one, we won’t need it… But if we don’t, we definitely will!
