Each flower looks as if it’s blooming
OPULENT BLOOMS | MIX & MATCH QUILTING COLLECTION | 50
out of the quilt block!
The included flowers for each design
aren’t just to add a dimensional
element to the quilt blocks! We’ve also
included a flower center design that
can be used on each set to create
finished freestanding flowers, similar
to the flowers featured in Flowers
1, 2, 3 collection. The flower center
follows the same set of steps as the
quilt blocks to attach all the flower
petals together and finish the center
of the flower. To see how it’s done,
you can use the instructions that are
featured in the “Stitching your Blocks”
section of this tutorial, starting at step J.
Instead of stitching them onto the quilt
blocks, you’ll just hoop a layer of Wash
Away stabilizer and stitch straight onto
that. Use these flowers as decorative
embellishments for any project you’ve
got your hands in! Add them to other
quilts, or attach them to your bag or
tote. Or you can attach a bar pin to the
back and turn them into brooches!
