Make the rosebud and tack it in place. Now Make the calyx for fusible, leaving the top section without the fusible stuff on the back. Add the folding seam allowance to the top section.
Lightly press under the top of the calyx, use a little glue to hold in place. Now tack the bottom of the calyx in place.
Now do whatever stitch you use to sew in place.
To get the puffiness of the rose bud, I would hand stitch the top edge of the calyx across the rosebud. But if you can't, go ahead and stitch with the machine.
Hope this works for you.

Ok thanks Peg i'll have a fiddle with the colors. Hope all is well on the home front and you Dad is having better days.
Have a good one :)
I plan on making each side match, but not each block.
I think it will look pretty anyway you want to do the colors.
Have fun and mix & match.
Have a good one :)

I didn't think I could do these either but found out that I can. It was a surprise to me. Each block and piece I think I get a little better at. Go ahead and try. I have had some methods that I tired, even on here, that I didn't like how it turned out so didn't use. But I didn't give up on other ways to do it. I've learned how to do different methods from watching this board also.
This is a great support group where you won't be laughed at for your efforts.
