Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Fusible non woven interfacing.....lite weight....it has little dots on the sticky side...at least mine does....works for me......EB does a lot of appliqué this way.......I like it better that just steam a seam or wonder under for "usable" quilted things......those raw edges are tucked under like in hand turned appliqué.....no raveling with wear.....
I think the " original" pattern was just white/color reversal on each block......but as in any block....change is optional
I love it. I have 4 granddaughters I would love to make this for them.
This is my version, but I did start with the backing, then looked for the fabric for the front. It was fun to make. And yes, it was machine appliqued. It was for a grand-daughter and I knew it would be washed often.
Better to do something imperfectly, than nothing perfectly.
Done is better than perfect.

]I have my pieces all cut out but other things came first--I'm using solid colors but I really like the various prints you have used--might have to make some changes.
I loved this pattern when it was first posted several years and I like all its variations. So cheerful...might be just the right project for the end of January and looking forward to spring.
I made one similar for my DGD..it was fun and easy to make. I appliqued the petals while I watched TV..it was really fun to make.

AZ Jane,
I love your version, the backing certainly did give you wonderful inspiration for the front flowers!
RedGarnet222,
Great information! I love applique, most of my quilts incorporate it somehow. And I'll be trying your way soon.
Regards all,
