SHINE: The Circles Quilt Pattern Designed by Elizabeth Eastmond | OPQuilt.com Page | 1 SHINE: Block Three SHINE: The Circles Quilt Pattern by Elizabeth Eastmond Each finished block measures 13” square • Finished quilt is 70” square Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate Please read all the way through General Instructions before beginning. Make the number of copies needed (on page 2 of this pattern). For ease in piecing, I sometimes will cheat a little. See tips on page 3 of General Instructions. 1. Layout all your prepared pieces. After glue-basting the seam allowances on every pattern piece, I stitched Inner Points B together in two groups of five. Then I sewed these two groups together to make the inner circle. 2. Add your Middle Arcs now, using the techniques you learned in the first two blocks: Anchor the corner of Middle Arc C to the top of Point B. Take two stitches to secure. Then putting straight sides and right sides together, whipstitch the seam, heading down into the V, taking an extra stitch at that point, then heading back up the other side. I always take an extra stitch at seams or at points where I think there will be stress. 3. Make Outer Points D in pairs. Sew two pairs together to make a unit of four. Add the Outer Arcs F in between the “hills” of the points. 4. Sew your Outer Point Units onto your circle, adding one at a time, then sewing up the seams between them. 5. Add final few Outer Arcs F, where needed. 6. Finish according to General Instructions. Block Three: Ljubljana The inspiration for this block came from the Serbian Orthodox Church in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Print these pages twice, for a total of 10 pieces foreach shape. Cut out circle A once. It is helpful to cutthe circle slightly larger to cover the center hole, dueto variations in hand-piecing.English Paper Piecing patterns have no seamallowances; add them when cutting out the pieces.Please see General Directions for more information.
