My swap craft is coming soon and I needed to finish this project so after 31 flowers (30 for the swap - one for Arianna) I am done and very tired. No scissors for awhile! But, I like the end result. I was going to do something different for the center, but liked how the antique buttons look so I went that route.
It took me about 3-4 days to cut all the flowers... phew!1 I was happy when I was done with them. Putting them together was actually fun!
ADDED later: The pattern was an idea from a magazine that I get Southern Living. Although my flowers are style different they are the same in that it uses four sets of "flowers" to make one flower. The actual shape was done by me using a quarter and a compass :) , but I am sure there are something similar somewhere. Also, that means that I cut 124 flowers to make 31.. phew so yes I was very happy when I was done with the last one. And finally, family helped me as well. Arianna either modeling a flower or telling me if it was perfect or awesome or ok and throwing some of the leftovers in the garbage and Mike helping me picked the buttons for each set of flowers. :)

These are very sweet!
I love that picture of Arianna modelling. I also got to help out by helping to choose which buttons to use. :)
Cute :)
You must have a lot of patience to cut out all those flowers,must be about 100 flowers or more altogether.Bet you were happy when the last one was finished.
Love the modelling pose :)
Wow! I love the image of all the felt flowers! That's quite a project. I love the idea of the swap. Those flowers are sure to put a smile of peoples faces!
How does the swap work? I don't know if I could part with my handiwork after so much labor.
