Yepper, it is the block in question. I figured I didn't need to turn the petal part, but the circle scares the dickens outta me. :shock: Been reading and reading, and I saw some people make a round template from hard plastic & do a running stitch to close it around it, then press. I'm guessing petals go on first, THEN circle center. I starched my petals after sewing them, so they do have some support.
