I'm not sure how it's "supposed" to be done, but yes, I'm going to applique them. It is pretty easy to do the back ground. I cut 4 strips of white at 5" and 4 strips of black at 5" (44 inches in length). Sewed them up so it was a set of 8 alternating strips. Cut in half (top to bottom) and in half (left to right) ... BUT ... you must cut your diagonals very carefully.
I didn't, and I did't have the "pinwheel" in the middle unless the bottom four were "inside out". Instead of redoing it, I just took them apart and resewed them with the seams going to the other side!
