Well lets hope so or it will be the white coats for them!!
I looked up a few things on the web and I saw how you could make the petals puff up a bit if you FMQ all around the flower and left the petals till last. So that's what I did and I used a straight stitch sort of in the ditch around each petal after putting the layers together and any FMQ-ing-my eyesight isn't what it used to be!
I don't think I would like to do this again..it was, to me anyway, very fiddly!
