Choosing between a circle template set and quilting project bags comes down to the task in front of you. For quilt patterns, pressing & storage, the Sew Easy set supports shaping and alignment, while the project bags keep works-in-progress and supplies organized. They serve different parts of a quilting workflow, so the better buy depends on whether pattern construction or storage is your immediate need.
Quick verdict
These choices compete for the same craft budget but solve different problems. Choose the Sew Easy Circle Template Set for circular layouts, applique pieces, block drawing, and fabric cutting. Choose the Sew Project Bags for Quilting when you need a dedicated place for cut pieces, patchwork blocks, thread, and tools. The price gap is $7.52, but function matters more than the difference: one is a quilt template system, and the other is a quilting project organizer.

Product notes
Sew Easy Circle Template Set
The Sew Easy Circle Template Set is the focused choice for shaping circular elements in a patchwork quilt pattern. Its nine pieces cover circles from 1 to 5 inches, while eight equal segment points provide places for registration marks before cutting. That makes it useful for tracing designs, drawing blocks, and creating applique pieces, not just cutting around a template. The resealable storage pack is a practical way to keep the set together between sessions. Its limitation is its narrow circle-template role: it helps create and align fabric shapes, but it is not a project organizer for cut pieces, blocks, thread, or tools. Choose it when the immediate task is layout and cutting rather than workspace storage.
Sew Project Bags for Quilting
The Sew Project Bags for Quilting are the better fit when several works-in-progress need a dedicated home. The six-bag set uses a 16-by-16-inch format, a handle, mesh construction, and dual pockets: a large back pocket plus a smaller front pocket. Those details suit sorting cut pieces, patchwork blocks, thread, and tools, while the cool-colors assortment gives each bag a distinct color. The limitation is functional rather than technical: these bags organize quilting materials but do not provide circle templates, registration points, or block-drafting shapes. At $27.51, they also sit $7.52 above the template set, so the extra spend makes sense when organization and separation matter more than pattern construction.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Sew Easy Circle Template Set for patchwork quilt pattern work, especially when circles, applique pieces, registration marks, or block drawing are central. Choose the Sew Project Bags for Quilting for quilting project storage, particularly when the priority is separating fabric pieces, blocks, thread, and tools. They are not substitutes: one is a circle-template system and the other is an organizer. If you are making a single purchase, let the immediate bottleneck decide whether shape-making or storage will help more.
