In a case of outright bribery, I promised myself I would start a new quilted something or other when the fabric stash was organized.  These were pulled as I organized.  


An idea of making something with dresden flowers has been floating around in my head for a while.


When half a flower test block was made, i started wondering if the fabrics would go together.  Nope, don't like it, so the background fabric is out.


As I sewed, the green and yellow had less appeal.


So they all went back in the stash and the blue came out instead.  Much better!  There's enough of that and  the orange to make a small runner.


This die was used for the petals.  


This die for the fabric....


.....and this one for the templates.


Ready to go.  Just need a dot of Elmer's glue stick to hold them in place.


They were fun to make.


48 are ready for turning and pressing.  I'm having fun with this make it up as i go project.  The current plan is to make a little runner with five flowers to sit in front of the fireplace.

I managed to accidentally delete my last post before I could reply to the comments.  To the people who left the lovely comments...thank you!
