It's fun to find that I didn't catch any template in the final stitching, so they were easily removed, once the basting stitches came out.
This was fun, though it was a bit like topping and tailing where you sometimes throw the fruit among the stems and have to fish it out. I had to rummage in the debris for a template here and there.
And the patchwork looks like fabric, great joins, no gaps, rayon is forgiving.
I have a piece of sage green linen to mount it on for a pillow top, with another piece of linen for the back.
Meanwhile I followed up on the paper piecing book by downloading and printing out her templates so I can get adventurous. 35 pages, to be exact.
A lifetime supply. The book is really only half the story.
And my other reference book on various quilting approaches arrived. From the V and A. And very good.
Can I admit I have ordered a bunch of various cotton bits, and template plastic..so I can get right into Flossie's designs. Well, I have.
Now I plan to have a pot of tea.
