    Need help finding free small paper pieced flower patterns

    I am making little paper pieced hearts to decorate my curtains and I think it would be pretty to alternate with little flowers. I've searched here and google but have not found many free ones that I like. The heart blocks are about 4x4. I found them here: http://www.caroldoak.com/free-quilt-patterns.php
    but none of those flowers worked for my purpose. I started making some but realized I would have to sew four blocks together.

    Does anyone have links, patterns or suggestions?

    The biggest risk is the one not taken

    If you have a larger sized, you could resize the PP patterns to the size you want.

    Thank you for the links! There are definitly some here I can use. In fact I tried this one: http://www.winnowing.com/margaret.html before but I didn't have the pattern, just the picture, so I didn't have the order to piece in -- that was a challenge!

    It's a good idea to size them down to the block size I need to match the hearts.

    Thank you for sharing the great links!

    Small paper pieced flower

    CAS49OR:

    I have this wonderful pattern and I think it may suit your needs especially if you like rose buds. I think you can just do the rosebud without the heart. It should be quick and easy also.

    Please post a picture when you have finished. I know we would all like to see your creation. Good luck.

    Thank you, this is very pretty. I like the patterns with numbers of the order to quilt them. I had a little difficulty without that.

    It will be a while before I share pictures. I'm trying to modify room darkening curtains. First I'm going to try to cover them with cotton top and bottom with a sheer fabric ruffle in between, putting the hearts and flowers on the cotton part. If my panels don't work out I'm going to paint the curtains with fabric paint, using stencils, then attach the hearts and flowers. Thank you all for your help.
