Here is an other option. Using thead the same color as your flowers do a hem stitch along the outside of the flower and it will take a little bit into the flower. You could also use invesable thread. You really need to sew your flowers down before you quilt. At least that is what I would do.

I don't know if you have ever seen any of her (Patsy Thompson) videos, but she does some great tutorials, including quilting on applique.
By the way, your applique is gorgeous! Please post on your finished piece. I think I may have bought that pattern recently and will have to watch some videos myself.

Features Class I am taking. It's a real learning experience. We do a new block each month, and the blocks are spectacular!
