I think those flowers are so cute!! Love the fabrics and the shape.

Love your dresdan and the flowers. What do you think about adding buttons as the center of the flowers - I love buttons and they would withstand use. I also like the idea of making little hearts for flower petals, I've seen that before and they are adorable. Hurry! Can't wait to see the finished quilt!

Magic Vine from Quilt in a Day has a variety of detailed appliqué flowers and the quilt is her version of a 1930's pattern.

You could do yoyo's in the center of your flowers. Very pretty, be sure to post a picture of your finished quilt.

I have to reiterate Feathers n fur suggestion...the flowers in the Magic Vine book are copies of flowers that were published in the 1930's in Newspapers so it is so absolutely appropriate for this quilt. BTW...loved the fussy cutting on your dresden...its adorable!!
Heres a close up pictures of the flowers in the book

If you are interested in the Magic Vine flowers, Gay Bomers has this posted on her website, Sentimental Stitches. This is a fabulous website, in case you are not familiar with it--she is particularly fond of old quilts, and she offers many quilt patterns--some free, others for a modest cost--for some of these beauties.

Just put quilt flower applique in your search engine and you will be amazed how many you find.

What about hexi flowers? The paper pieces come in all sizes starting at 1/2 inch on up to in excess of 3". You don't even have to baste them now....just use a glue stick and do one side at a time.....works great.

I love your flowers. Why not just embroider a good sized circle of french knots and then fill in that circle with the knots.
Old fashioned, easy and effective.
