[ATTACH=CONFIG]415693[/ATTACH] I went home and continued making the flowers. I was addicted. I used jeansfabric as background. Underneed the fabric is a peace of polysterene to pin the pieces easily.

Yesterday I found a piece of canvas (normally used for painting). I put my flowers on the canvas and loved it. The colours are more bright.

Today I sewed the last flowers together. Know I am thinking to add some beading. But the beading lies in my parents house so I have to wait.

This was my journey of the last two weeks.

your flowers are absolutely beautiful! I love English Paper Piecing and have made many flowers, none have compared to the beautiful ones you created. I look forward to seeing your next hexi project.
