  • Cut out flowers and stitch flower pieces together (figure B).

  • Sew the edge of the flower onto the background fabric and needle turn or applique stitch.

  • Cut a small opening on the background fabric on the bias (underneath the flower). Insert a small amount of batting to create the Trapunto effect.

  • Trapunto and applique the motifs as desired and finish the quilt with hand quilting.
