I am unable to download the EQ version. The others downloaded just fine. Any suggestions on what to do?

I just finished a block from Elly Seikewinz's (bad spelling, huh?) book. Wish I had had this tutorial before making the rosebuds. Yours look really great! And have personality. The directions in Elly's book were lacking.

I was wondering the same thing. I thought they probably should be the same color as the 4 small inner corner blocks we just finished last month.

I have all her books, and she is great, but I agree, her books are written for the advanced appliquer, & sometimes lack enough instruction.

I took her method and adapted it to make it easier to do.

Thanks for you nice comments and hope you try it on another quilt.

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.

I think you can still do the folded rosebud, adapted.

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.

cut the border block background 6-1/2" square, we will trim it to the correct size when we are ready to assemble top.
I went back and looked at the larger version and found what I was missing :roll: I had made a copy of the 60" one and of course didn't show the inner border so I'm up to speed (I think) I really must get busy.
