Did you bind each circle?

The darker lavendar color does make the circles pop. You cannot go wrong with any of the colors.

Let us know what you decide.

Great idea!

Sitting here looking at this quilt and am thinking maybe using all three fabrics as a vertical stripe behind the circles. How about that? Also someone asked if I bound each circle. It isn't binding. I sewed each circle to a piece of lightweight cotton I had slit it open and turned it right side out. Then using the applique stitch on my machine sewed the bird fabric to the background circle. Will applique each circle to the background, if I ever decide what to do.

All 3 are nice selections, I like the bottom color, I think it does the most for the circles. (but what do I know?)
