Easy Patchwork Decorations

Another belated Patchwork Christmas Decoration but I promise this will be my last until next November/December. Please forgive me as I know that if I don't record this now that I will have forgotten about it when I want to make more for next Christmas.
This one is even easier than the last.
Cut two circles of contrasting fabric (mine were 16 cms diameter) 
Sew together leaving a gap to turn inside out.
Press, then top stitch near to edge.

Bring two sides together  and catch a stitch in the middle to secure.
Repeat with the other sides.
Turn over the four corners
Neaten up so it looks like this one below.

Add a trim or button to the centre and a hanging loop and that's all there is to it. 
Easy peasy, or what? Happy Next Christmas!

    It looks so beautiful and it sounds easy, however, I know that if I would attempt this it would end up completely messy. I'm just not good at sewing and have hated it since school. I stick to my knitting needles. I love the colors that you chose!
