Very pretty, so far. You should post as it progresses.

Of course I'll post as it is constructed. :-D I have everything cut out except for 52 white flower petals (have 3 strips of fabric ready for them). 13 of the blocks are totally done, 3 more are ready to machine applique.

I am making 2 blocks of each color so I separated them into two batches of 16. I also separated the colored petals into two batches, there will be two flowes of each color.

Pittsburgpam: your machine raw-edge applique looks very neat. I was just watching Sharon's video on this and hadn't tried it yet. (I have a quilt top done that needs flowers appliqued on it, and have been debating whether to turn under and machine quilt or do raw edge.) Some machine applique books say to use tear-away stabilizer, but I don't want to do this if I don't need to. Did you use stabilizer on yours??

No, I didn't use stabalizer. The foundation block and the applique fabric are heavily starched. After I do the applique I VERY lightly spray starch on the back of the block and press it from the back. It gets rid of any distortion from the sewing.
