Button Flowers for my tree

I haven’t done any dimensional flowers for a while so I thought I would add a few to my tree quilt just for fun. These flowers are super dimple and fun to make. Here’s how I did it.

First I cut out 5 circles of fabric…each is 2”.

Then I pressed them in half.

I stitched a running stitch 1/4” from the raw edges around the half circle.

Pulled tight

Added 4 more petals, pulled really tight and tied a knot.

Here I have a 2 circles, each 1”, fused wrong sides together.

I use a little fabric glue to glue the flower down so I can sew on a button….

I was having a real hard time figuring out which buttons to use when I had this brainstorm idea. Why not make my own? Tutorial on that step tomorrow.
