Fabric Flower - Navy Linen

I cut 12 strips of the navy linen fabric about 1" wide.  That covered the silver ring nicely. Makes for a heavy flower though.

I chose a scrap of the vase fabric to make the center of the flower.

I started with the wire stitched to a 2" circle of heavy cardstock. Then I placed a piece of batting and the yellow fabric and stitched all the way around the navy ring using navy thread.  I then stitched a yellow backing fabric to hide the wire and stitching.

Note: I should make my next wires heavier and I should chose lighter fabric.

I really wanted to get these bouquets to the Gallery yesterday.
