This is an oversized PDF. When printing, select Poster. Make sure the Cut Marks box is checked and set the Overlap. I like a 1" overlap.

To use as a coloring page, print to one page.

Using your fabric scraps, prepare the circles.

Use the pattern for placement or use the diagram below as a guide and stitch your applique circles in place.

The solid line is Back Stitched.
