    I tried making these from another tute using squares folded in half diagonally and stringing them up to form a flower. It seemed simple enough, then you made a yo-yo for the center. However, each time I ended up with a large hole in the center, I tried making them smaller, same results. I love this idea of using the squares and maybe if I have enough patience, I can use yo-yos for the center. Thanks amandasgramma for putting this out. :XD: :XD:

    Here is my fridgie flower magnet. I used 5" charm squares, so the petals are cut to 2 1/2" each. So cute

    I also tried the flowers folding in half diagonally. I discovered that if I made larger stitches and fewer of them that I didn't have as a big a hole in the center.
