Add various greens to four corners to finish out your "squares." When you stitch them together, it will look like green peeking through, but since all those corners will be different shapes & sizes, it won't look like squares stitched together. You could use enough green to float some of the roses or as little as possible--to make the peeking "leafy" background or a combination of both.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772238791739652673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4605926803406381075.post-41286733921679068142008-07-11T21:43:00.000+02:002008-07-11T21:43:00.000+02:00How about putting fusible on the back...fusing it ...How about putting fusible on the back...fusing it down to a background...and secure the edges with straight stitching?
