How much time do you have? Most people with no sewing experience would have difficulty acquiring the skills to do paper piecing or applique.How about machine embroidery? Quilt blocks can be embroidered, and there are people who will do it for you.

I found this commercial pattern for a thyme sprig:https://www.embroiderydesigns.com/pr...e2178_010.aspxand

this page of orchids to choose from:https://www.embroiderydesigns.com/si...rchtext=orchid

Edit: Actually, I found this page of thyme embroidery patterns to choose from:https://www.embroiderydesigns.com/si...archtext=thyme

Sorry, I don't know why I am messing up the editing on this post. I think the links work, though. Just wanted to add that there is a redwork version of thyme also (of course, could be worked in other colors):
