This Week
Well, it's almost Week #24, so it makes sense that we make Block #24, doesn't it? This was another easy-ish one. I found that I had good luck with appliqueing the dark pink outer petals to the light pink inner piece before stitching the unit to the background. That way the seam allowance seemed to tuck under very nicely!

I just lay one piece on top of the other. I use freezer paper, so the pieces are true size & I can see where they need to go. Plus, I use my eye to gage where it should go. I pin it in place, stitch & when the unit is finished, I put it on the background.
