Sew Simple Shapes

From BOTH fabric and interfacing:

Cut 1 - 3" x 4" for the flower center

Cut 2 - 2" x 3" for the leaves

Cut 8 - 2" squares for the petals

Prepare stem piece about 5" long

Cut your background 9" square

1. Trace your shapes onto the interfacing.

2. Pair up with fabric...

stitch on traced line and trim a 1/4" seam allowance.

3. Cut an "X" in the interfacing for turning.

4. Turn and shape using the Clover turning tool.

Press on the fabric side:)

Press a crease in the center 

of your block like this.

Place your stem on the center of 

the line and even with the bottom edge.

Measure up 3 1/4" fem the bottom edge to place your first petal.

Measure 1 1/4" from the top edge to place the top petal.

Now place your oval in the center...

And add the two side petals.

Fill in the four remaining petals.

Pin or glue baste into place for appliqué.

When your appliqué is complete...

press from the back and trim your block down to 8 1/2" square.

Choose and cut your border fabrics and corner squares...
