Join in the fun as we explore the many, many ways to use Kaye's View & Do Shapes!

We have patterns and epatterns, books and ebooks and DVD's devoted to these versatile shapes....

The View & Do Shapes are great for fussy-cutting. Their white color blocks out the background of the fabric so you can really see just inside the opening of the Shape.

Rotary cut around the outside of the Shape. Here is a great hint: if you want one of the smaller sizes, you can't rotary cut inside the Shape so this is what you do-

When you are using one of the curved Shapes (circles and hearts), it might be easier to trace around the outside of the Shape and cut with scissors, instead of rotary cutting the curves.

Kaye's Pieces of 8 Ebook uses Kaye's View and Do Octagons Shapes

16 pages

Bulls eye quilts are what this book focuses on and the different methods of putting them together. Your octagon bull's-eyes have raw edges and will fray with use and washing. The choice of fabric will determine the amount of fray: flannel will fray a lot; cottons less. If the idea of raw edges on your quilt does not appeal to you, there are options for different  finishing techniques. Other tips include borders, layering the quilt, bindings and mitered corners.

Take a look at some of the projects in Kaye's Ebook, Pieces of 8.
