And this is how I got there




So, remember this pic from the other day?  Well, I took the fabric on the left, fused it, and then drew petals on the back.  When I cut them out, they were a bit bigger then they needed to be (which you can observe for yourself in the last pic in this post!), so I ended up making slimmer versions of the same petals.



 And then I fused this piece of cloth in the same way and free-hand cut petals that were like elongated ellipsis(es... 's... s'.... zzzzz.....)


And then, remember that piece of fabric I painted with Crayola gel paints?

I ended up cutting that into petals too.




 And I ended up with this:




Blech!

I worked on the arrangement, until I came up with the first pic that began this post. 

And now the quilting begins... gummy needles, here I come!

(Hurray!)
