These flowers whip up pretty fast and are great stash buster projects. I've made five of them now and am trying to decide if I want to make a purse with them or just stick them on a pillow. What would you use them for?
Thanks for the pattern Elise. I've downloaded the PDF. So pretty in the pink and orange!
