Fabric Flowers
At my Charmers Ladies Small Quilt Group in January, I brought a hand-work project to try making a fabric flower from 6 3-inch circles of fabric. I used dental floss for the thread, because it needed to be strong. It worked great!
It went so well, I should have brought a few more kits to make more flowers.
I can use up some of the buttons in my stash that I saved for journal closures.
This is the tutorial I used for both pointy and round-petaled flowers.
I love the pearls and sparkle on this one, but I think it might be a little too big for this little flower?
Expect a few more of these ...
This may be my contribution to the boutique for the Quilt Shows this year. I
t's the kind of thing I would buy at a quilt show!

Well aren't those lovely! A long time ago, I worked through Baltimore Album quilt block lessons and learned to make dimensional flowers, some like these. But it never occured to me to use buttons for the centers. And trust me, I have a lot of buttons that could be used up this way. I don't think the one you ask about has a too big button. It's gorgeous.
