    I saw your other pictures I thought that some were already applequed to the white fabirc as they look like they are floating. That is the way I would go. Appleque to a white background. Bless her fragil heart and hurting fingers. And you for giving her meaning.

    She has done a great job, so why not encourage her to start sewing the flowers together--she could do segments that could later be stitched together. It is basically the same thing as she has been doing so beautifully already. Just a thought.

    Those are beautiful. I recently made a small Christmas tree shape from the hexagons then machine appliqued it on a block to go into a quilt. Glue or a few small basting stitches would hold it in place and machine applique may be a quicker way to get them together.
