When appliqueing petals in a circle use this technique. After the petals are appliqued sew a basting stitch below the seam allowance to hold the petal ends in place. They tend otherwise to want to stick up. Quick and easy. I love quilting tips.
Above if you look close you will see the white seam line. I basted just below it.
Now you are ready to applique the center down.

Thanks for the tip. I can always use ideas to make my applique look much better. Looking forward to more sneak peeks of the BOM.
Thank you for all the wonderful tips. I love every floral pattern you two do. This christmas season I'am working on your christmas trees. Love the tree updating I'am going to tell my daughter about that one.

Is the BOM your working on the same BOM that Linda is working on? Noticed she was making birds in one posting. Just wondering. I have all your books and patterns. Looking forward to the next book.
Great tip. Thank you.
