That really sounds different and I know it is beautiful. Would love to see a posted picture. I used a yellow center, solid color, third circle is made from 1930's reproductions, of course, many different prints. I chose a solid to coincide with the print, e.g., pink, blue, lavendar, green, etc. You are not being lazy about the binding--probably prett smart. I am not too far from getting it put together. Have a few more flowers to do. We visit Lancaster about twice a year since I am from Shamokin, PA. We live in VA.
