Above is a link to the DP I did using QAYG.

What I did was make the points on the blades first. Then I assembled the blades.

Then I made the circles around a heavy plastic circle template that was wrapped in foil. I basted around the circle and pulled the threads tight around the template and pressed it with an iron. Then I gently popped the template out and pressed again.

I appliqued the circles to the "flower" using a tiny ZZ stitch, then appliqued the plate to the background using the same small ZZ stitch.

After that, I assembled my sandwich blocks. I quilted 1/4" around inside of each blade and did decorative stitch in circles to look like center of a daisy.

I then outlined the plate very closely, echoed a few times, then went from point to point in a variation of a stop sign shape.

When I quilted the squares, I left enough room at the edges to join them.

First, I sewed the backs of the squares together to make a row. I used 1/4" seam, right sides together, pinning the batt out of the way.

Then, I flipped it over and trimmed excess batt, folded one side over onto another and stitched flap down, leaving enough unstitched to join next row.

When the quilt was assembled, I quilted a little medallion in each place where four squares met. I made a border and quilted it before I attached it to the quilt using the same technique I'd assembled squares with.

I stitched the layers together at the edge.

Then I sewed binding to the back, flipped it around to the front, used straight stitch to stitch down, mitring the corners as I went.

Then I put a decorative stitch on front where binding met quilt.
