  Step 1

  Using your 7" dessert plate (mine was 6 3/4") trace a circle onto your 8" fabric square using a frixion pen and cut out. (I was making multiples so traced them onto a larger piece of fabric.)

• 

  Step 2

  Once you have your circle and your 10" square of background fabric, fold each one in quarters. Fold the 10" square with the right side on the outside. Fold the circle with the wrong side on the outside. Mark the folded points to give you the center of each. Don't worry if it's super exact. It's a "drunken" chevron after all, and there are no matching points. :)

• 

  Step 3

  Once both of the midpoints are marked, (the 10" square on the right side, and the circle on the wrong side), apply glue to the wrong side of the edge of the circle. Match the midpoints and press down into place onto the 10" square.

• 

  Step 4

  Once your midpoint marks are matched up and the circle is pressed into place onto the 10" square, set your sewing machine to a zigzag stitch, or stitch of your choice and stitch circle down around it's edge.

• 

  Step 5

  Press block flat, then separate the two layers inside the stitched circle area. Make a tiny snip in the back layer, being careful not to cut any part of the front circle. Snip out the excess fabric.

  Bonus: save the excess circles that you're trimming out for another project!

• 

  Step 6

  Press block flat and cut it into quarters.

  **I used several different 10" squares so that I could mix and match when putting the blocks together.

• 

  Step 7

  Rearrange the quarters into this quilt block.
