More October Flowers

For Traveling Threads this month, I made these flowers for Jill (aka Spinster Sister). She wanted something fun and loves layering. I'm hoping it didn't end up too busy but I'm in love with the flowers.

Traveling Threads block for Spinster Sister


Edited to Add: I made these flowers in the same way that log cabin blocks are made. I randomly cut a center shape and then added strips one at time on each edge going around. If there's interest, I'll be happy to do a tutorial about it.

They're raw edge appliqued on with Steam-A-Steam Lite (a lightweight fusible web). I ironed them on (following the Seam-A-Steam instructions) and straight-stitched around the edges.

    I LOVE your flowers. I would love to know how you made them. The layering is really beautiful and natural looking. Did you make them and then raw edge applique them on?

    I especially like the little leaf you put on the side. It's the little details that make things really special.

    Those flowers are so cool! They give a great modern touch to a traditional applique. The fabrics you used really make it.
