    I did something similiar a few years ago, but used different leaves instead of flowers, it was one of my first quilts, and I was rather pleased with the outcome.

    Do you put anything between the flowers and the "hammer"?
    I love this. We made skorts for my neices one summer. They hand painted them and we set them with vinegar, water and a hot iron. They washed, many times, snd still look good. They change a little after each wash but still look good.

    We bought a bunch of heavier unbleached muslin, cut out and sewed three pairs of skorts (shorts with a skirt over the front). Put the girls on meat wrapping paper on the piucnic table with various brushes and fabric paints and they did their thing. Flowers, animals, etc. We let them dry for a couple of days then used a pressing cloth with vinegar & water mix 2/3 vinegar to 1/3 water and steam iron. Ironed every inch 2-3 times. Three summers and they still love to wear their art. We wash wrong side out, delicate, cold water and hang to dry. Then iron

    Oh, I forgot to ask, are you planning a larger quilt with this procedure? It sure would be pretty, and you are very good at it.
