Thank you. :D It was easier than I though it would be. I had the most trouble with my circle center.

Oh that is so pretty!!! I am sooo colour challenged, i just love how you put your colours together. I'm thinking of doing one too. I've heard of a couple ways of doing a circle, wonder which way you did it so i know what's the hard way lol. I've heard you can put two pieces of fabric together, sew a circle, then cut a slit in one circle, turn right side out and press, and ive heard of using a freezer paper template, and doing a gathering stitch around outside edge of fabric, pulling tight, then ironing. hmm...you're braver than me! :)

Think Barb has the right ideas, one of them will work. The one about putting the two fabrics would work with a piece of iron on interfacing (?) it think that is what it is. Sew it so that when you turn it right side out, smooth edges, the glue is now on the outside, press in place and stitch.
