A final decision

 While working away on my quilt I've been trying to decide what fabric I would use for the very centre. I have cut and tried many fabrics and finally made a decision.  I've finished all the applique on the outside ring  so the next job is to attach it to a background.  'not what is showing just now'.

 
 
Here is a close up of the centre. I ended up using a floral piece of chintz. At the workshop Marg Sampson told us not to make it too prominent or it would become a bullseye. I think I've achieved that.

It looks great. You do such a wonderful job with fabric selection that I wish you could give me a hand with my LE quilt as I am struggling.

A bullseye never crossed my mind - great choice!

That is a perfect choice, blends in beautiful with the rest of the quilt without standing out. Good tip to remember.
