Each individual flower which makes up the Geranium head is held in place with 3 French Knots. For the veins on the Geranium leaves I used 2 strands of DMC thread.
Still not too sure whether I am going to make it into a small wall hanging or a cushion cover. I also thought of adding binding made out of the buttermilk fabric to frame it or maybe black to bring out the French Knots on the flowers - what do you ladies advise?

Your Flower blocks are just absolutely stunning - I've never seen anything like that in the 3-D look - the flower seem like they can just jump right off the page...
I was wondering if you would be willing to share the pattern...I would love to learn how to do that - it's just to different - and absolutely so beautiful...
Have a great evening!
