I love the way these pieces turned out.
I hope to have the block assembled later today, so I will be able to show the whole look soon.

When Fabric Speaks
While working on the next applique block for the "My Tweets" BOM, I was having a little trouble deciding what fabric/colour I wanted to use for the flowers. Nothing in my stash really appealed to me for this one, so of course, I had to go shopping. I came across this fabric on the weekend and it screamed "Take me home.........I am the one"
I love the way these pieces turned out.

it turned out great. I love listening to fabric.
That flower is beautiful!
I just discovered your blog and I love it. I am a fairly new quilter and I have bee exploring trying applique. So glad I found you. I do not have a blog at this time but I will visit yours often and learn from you. Thanks so much for sharing.
Talk about your V-8 moments -- I just had one after looking at what you did with this fabric! I always think that I have to use the entire motif when fussy-cutting fabric -- well, of COURSE you don't. You can see the fabric the way Jill sees it and make your own fantastic flower. Love this!!

What a great use of fabric. I have been trying to "see" it differently for some time -- you've done a great job here.
Well you could not of picked a better fabric. Can't waitto see it done.
I, of course, like the way you used the fabric to work for you better than the way I used the orange and yellow on my flowers. Gads you are good at this stuff!!!
The fabric was perfect for the flower. It will look stunning.
Definitely a great choice of fabric.
That is georgeous! What an amazing fabric for that!
I never thought about cutting into a motif like that before - great tip (again!)
Those came out just awesome. . .love your flowers! And the colors go great with your previous block too. What a great eye you have for design.
