Here is what I worked on today - Not sure what I want to put for centers yet.
I plan on doing all my applique by machine with a narrow zigzag with invisible thread. I've been doing that quite a bit and like the results. I don't have any trouble stitching by hand, but I don't like how long it takes. Rather do it by machine and be done and on to the next fun. Beside, I'd rather do cross stitch or hand embroidery if I'm going to hand stitch.
BTW - these three are sort of a set. I sewed the WOF strips and got 20 wedges, and used half on one circle and half on the other. I did make them so that I removed the inner piece on both, so that is why one has the gold and the other does not.
Then I cut WOF of the two solid petals, and got 20 of each, so used 10 on each of the mixed petals, and sewed the remaining 10 each into pairs to make the plate with the larger points. Next I'll play with rounded petals.
