Oh my...just got back to see if there were any more replies. Thank you all SO much.
I like that Eleanor Burns way of doing the center circle. Now to see how much fusible interfacing I have left from other projects. It's a 10" diameter circle so I SHOULD have a piece that size.
I'm still too new to at quilting to think about other/or better ways of doing things. This board has been and WILL be the best of the best for tips and techniques.
