I'm doing this right now, actually. The flower looks just like the link, but the one I'm doing is machine stitched on the corners. I have to say....it's awfully tedious and time consuming. I think it will hold up fine with use and in the wash, but I wouldn't say this if it wasn't machine stitched. The only hand sewing is to tack down the tops of the petals to the quilt. I do know I'll never do a quilt needing 128 of them again!
