HAVE YOU TRIED MAKING FLOWERS?

Well, this didn't turn out as I had hoped.  I love Deborah Louie's Daisy Path quilt.  Since she is in Australia and I couldn't wait for a pattern, I thought, "I can do that."  It is appliique and I love applique. 

 One thing I thought particularly nice was that I could use my scraps. I swore I was going to use my scraps instead of buying new fabric this year (what a joke).  Applique is one reason I cannot cut all my scraps into various size squares.  One never knows what size scrap will be perfect for that applique. 

I show you this picture so you can see the size of my scrap piece.

Anyway, first it looked like this.  Didn't like it.

 So, I made some changes.

This is a closeup.  But no matter how many times I turn it every which way to look at it, it still doesn't look like Deborah's.  Maybe next time I'll use the fusing method and outline the petals in black.  As for this one, I think I'll practice some FM quilting on it and turn it into a pillow.

ON ANOTHER NOTE:

• I like to use my special rulers more than once, so I'm always on the lookout for a pattern or tutorial that calls for a special ruler I have.  Andie Johnson Sews has a tutorial for a mug rug using that 60 degree ruler.
