Welcome from Ontario, Canada. It is best if you can find some free flower appliques that you like and are at your skill level. You might also look under Baltimore album flower free blocks for some really intricate applique. You can look under applique flowers for your states/provinces/districts to try. You could see if www.quilterscache.com or quilt blocks galore has any you could use. I think it's great that you like to do everything by hand.
