They've always been either square or rectangular, odd shapes have never been allowed.
Goodness, I'm grateful I've only been in round robins (admittedly much fewer than you!) that gave the next rounder rather complete control unless there were specific requests.....and sometimes there have been NO journals with any requests! This has allowed me to try lots of different techniques I might not have if given strict limitations.
If time were an issue, I'd do the applique-on-a-square thing for this one, though I might also add something a little extra in the corners of the base square.
If there was time I'd probably find a way to piece the circle into a background that was also pieced, just to challenge myself and/or show off a little bit, heehee.
