Yes...I did it by hand, flowers and all. The petals were put on in a circle individually so they overlapped. they are also stuffed.The circle in the center was appliqued on top of the petals. In the beginning they looked like the top half of a heart, I thought. One block at a time and pretty soon they were all ready to be put together. I did use the machine to put the blocks together, then went back to hand quilting. It was a warm winter for me. She is happy with it.
