Really fine sewing skills. How did you get your center so perfectly round? My stitching was very precise but when I turned the circle right side out it wasn't as smooth as I would like. Yours looks perfect!

Hi JoanneGram, thank you so much for the compliments! I think my center edges were able to lay flatter and take their shape because I did not do just a single snip around the edge every centimeter (1/3 of an inch?) like Amy did, but rather I clipped a "V" shape every centimeter - this helped in reducing the amound of fabric that would around the seam once the center piece was turned right side out. That and just plain old luck lol :)

Another trick is to take the blunt end of a thick knitting needle or a knife handle and run it around inside your circle to push those edges all the way out, roll with your fingers and finger press if necessary and then press.
