Another Flower Wallhanging

    I made myself a flower wallhanging for spring.  I used more scraps and I was amazed that I found enough fabric for the background and backing.

Spring Flowers Applique


   I wanted to make a spring flower wall hanging for dear daughter.  I haven't made a lot of spring decor items, and she needs something for a large wall.  

   I didn't like any of the flower blocks that I found so I drew a petal shape and cut out eight for each flower. I also cut some bias binding for stems and a few leaf shapes.  

   I didn't use any heat and bond on the pieces.  I used a school glue stick (I know, I railed against using glue for basting but with all the little pieces of this, the glue worked) to lightly baste each piece.  It held very well and I applique it all down, quilted it and put on the binding.  

    I worked on it for about 7 hours over 3 days.  So worth it.  Oh, and I used all fabric and batting from stash.  I also added two hanging triangles at the top before sewing the binding on. Each block is 10 inches square.  So it finished at 10 inches wide x 30 inches long.
