When I left you yesterday, I had finished Grid quilting the sky, and was ready to start placing the flowers, stems and leaves.
I made my basic plan for flower placement……
….and cut out a bunch of stem strips with the fusible attached….
…and a nice selection of leaf shapes as well…..
I started by pinning the pieces in place…..
….and then used my tiny iron to fuse them in place……
I like to use a Dritz “Petite Press” (Click HERE to see it on Amazon)…
When they were all fused down, I removed the flowers once again…..
….and quilted/outlined each stem and leaf…..
I replaced the flowers and stitched them in place…..
For most of the, I didn’t worry about the points being loose….
I think that will add another layer of dimension to the piece!!
Well, it’s almost finished…..
Com back tomorrow and we will put the finishing quilting touches on!!
