Assembling a square

One of the trickier squares shown here sewn. Success hinged on working out and sticking to the piecing order - otherwise there would have been a lot of partial seams or totally inset seams to sew.

Each time a seam is pressed, it is worth paying attention to what is in the foreground and what is in the background - and press towards the foreground. This is obvious, say, in the leaf which points upwards; the seams where the leaf joins to the background were pressed under the leaf, thus it stands a little proud of the background. Similarly, the overlapping petals were pressed towards those on the outside. This helps to give the impression of three-dimensional form.
