We have used this flower shape before but turned it differently:)

Here are my fabric choices for this week.

We are using

A-1   A-2   A-11   A-23

BLOOM Sew Simple Shapes 

From fabric and Pellon both:

Cut 1 - 5" square for the flower

Cut 1 - 3" squarer the large circle

Cut 1 - 2" square for the small circle

Cut 2 - 2" x 3 1/2" for leaves

From fabric only:

Prepare a 4" stem

Cut a 9" square for background

1. Trace the shapes onto the Pellon.

2. Place Pellon with fabric and sew on the traced line. 

Trim approximately 1/4" past traced line.

3. Cut an "X" in the Pellon only for turning.

Clip the 4 "cleavage" areas in the flower...

clip to your stitching but not into it.

4. Turn right side out...shape and press.

Press your background square in half like this to mark the center...

place the stem in center even with the bottom edge. 

Place your flower on top of the stem and 1 1/4" down from the top edge.

The leaves are 1 3/4" up from the bottom edge:)

Center the two circles and pin or glue baste everything into place.

Appliqué your block using 

the method that you have chosen:)

When your appliqué is complete...

cut the borders and squares and 

sew your block together:)

Take a photo and hashtag it

I really love this one and I think the 

double circle in the center is fun!

Block fourteen is next week...

I'll see you then!
