🌿 Tips for a Smooth Stitching Journey:

✅ Chain-piece whenever possible – especially the stems and leaves – to speed things up.

✅ Use contrast between petals and centers for each block to make your flowers pop.

✅ Pre-cut all your pieces before starting to keep your workflow relaxing and fun.

✅ Press after each seam, open or to the side consistently for flatter blocks and easy matching.

✅ Audition your layout before sewing the rows — mix and match flower colors to balance the overall look.
