This is exactly the way I would do it with your others as well.
I have seen some with blanket stitch around the circle and the outer edges, but most are done with a whip stitch, even when the blanket stitch was used in the center..
If you do use the blanket stitch on the outer edge, it should be turned under and basted first.. then lay it on you background, baste and apply with blanket stitch..
