Dresden Plate still in the works

I have been working on these blocks for about a year now.
I have 12 completed with hand applique around each 15 inch block.
I am ready to put the centers on and I have have a hard time deciding what size, what color.
I took these blocks to my quilt group to "audition" what to put in the middle of each block.
Hands down
Big Red circle.
Here I Go!

"NINE IN "09"

Quilt Group Challenge
Everyone make 9 12 inch blocks (all the same)
Use 30's prints and muslin, any pattern you want.
We exchanged blocks and we all ended up with 9 different blocks
Then we were on our own t finish the quilt.
This is my quilt finished
I added the names on each block so I could remember who made each block
I love these ladies!
