For those of you who have asked about my center: It is made by sewing two strips together and then cutting "wedges" with a 12 degree ruler placed on an angle across the strip set. You sew the wedges together like you would a Dresden Plate. Then you applique on a center. Adding the corner pieces was a bit tricky for me as I hate to sew curves - but I got it done.
