I cut out the flowers, appliquéd them to black cotton material, I used warm and natural batting. All the dark centers and lines out to the end of the leaves and petals are thread painted with black thread to make them more vibrant and give them dimension. Don't ask where I got the material I don't know except that I didn't buy it. It wasn't cotton and may have been used for slipcovers or drapery. I had to use fray check on all edges before applique ,which worked well. The material was in my stash and may have been material I got from my mom's stash when she passed. Glad you like it. It is nice when your work is liked by other quilters. I have a quilter buddy Faye who told me I should branch out that I could do more because she said i was artistic. I thank her for encouraging me.
