Very clear tute. Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I cannot wait to try them. I have lots of scraps and extra buttons. This will be fun! :thumbup:

These are very pretty. I would like to make them for our spring flower themed quilt show. I am assuming that we need to cut 6 squares of each fabric (pink and green). I am off to try one right now.
|
Thank you so much for this tutorial , I love the flowers
and will make some as soon as I get through with the quilt I'm working on now :D |
Hah -- I just realized I didn't put in how many squares!!! thanks...Yes, each petal needs 2 squares. I just made one that's all one color....so 12 squares. The combos of colors is purely up to you......and so much fun to figure out! :thumbup:
|
What a fun idea. I'll have to make some for mom for mother's day.
|
Thanks for the tute
|
You did a very good job on your tutorial. Maybe you have found your calling? lol I can see these sweet little flowers popping up all over. My mind is spinning now! Thanks so much!!
|
Thank you for making this tute for us :D:D:D
|
thank you so very much for doing that. God bless. Penny

I tried making these from another tute using squares folded in half diagonally and stringing them up to form a flower. It seemed simple enough, then you made a yo-yo for the center. However, each time I ended up with a large hole in the center, I tried making them smaller, same results. I love this idea of using the squares and maybe if I have enough patience, I can use yo-yos for the center. Thanks amandasgramma for putting this out. :XD: :XD:

Here is my fridgie flower magnet. I used 5" charm squares, so the petals are cut to 2 1/2" each. So cute
|
awesome, thank you
|
This is so clever. thank you for sharing will bookmark this one :thumbup:
|
I also tried the flowers folding in half diagonally. I discovered that if I made larger stitches and fewer of them that I didn't have as a big a hole in the center.
