The quilt block is 10 1/2 inches square. The leaf pattern is fused onto the block then stitched around the outer edge.
If you have questions I'll try to answer them. I hope the tutorial is understandable.
Happy flower making!

ps My friend was using this technique with much smaller squares and putting a magnet on the back. Hers looked like sunflowers. I don't remember how she covered the center.
Where did you find the leaf pattern?????? I love these flowers and will definately give it a try. :thumbup: :thumbup:
I bought the original pattern so the fused leaf pattern came from that. One could free hand a pattern pretty easily. It was was just a four leaf pattern with the stems joined in the middle. The pattern had them cut that way but when you are ironing on the leaves it seems to me it would be just the same if the leaves were separate--the center gets completely covered with the flower.
