The flowers are appliqued on fusible style and the stamens are thread painted. Once this is quilted, I plan to hand sew some purple seed beads onto the flower centres. The first pic is the original fabric. :-D

    Wow! By the way, my husband took me to Ikea. My back doesn't hurt as much using the higher tables for cutting out fabric. Thank you so much for the information!
