Found a pattern online but it's in 2 pieces so do I turn it into one piece and go from there? I'm really excited about learning how to do this!

You'll use both pieces....the rounded one is the round/corner part of the flower and the other is the petals. You'll need to make a bunch of copies.....good luck and post pictures! :D

The completed quilt isn't one I made. It was just a picture I copied from Google. It is beautiful though. I'm going to use the pattern with my Grandma's material and make a 3 piece wall hanging.
