The floral appliqués for Miss Kyra are done on the seams where I joined my Dresden Plate blocks together. Here’s a short tutorial on how I did it:
When you get your pattern, print 2 copies of the drawings. Using a window or a light box, line up the center flowers.
At this point you can trace the pattern onto one piece of paper or use it as it.
Here I taped the pattern down and placed the quilt top over it. I can see through the background fabric ever so slightly. From here I lined the seams up with the stems and made sure the flowers was centered over the corner. After that I just glued it down and appliquéd away. Easy peasy.
It's so beautiful!

Did you press your seams open? Was it difficult to sew through the seams? It's beautiful!
