Rosebuds Quilt Block

This block presents some challenges in that there are curves as well as set in seams.

The rosebud stems are sewn together in two pieces, with some stretch to the pieces, so take care as you sew them together, otherwise you will end up with a  mis-shapen block.

In addition, the large triangles between the rusebudes tend to stretch as well.

This is sewn together as a star, since it has 8 points, and if you are able to press the seam allowances in the center of the block  open, that will help keep the center flat.

Peaceful Piecing!
