Start working from the back. The patterns are generally never numbered for your convenience, so figuring out which petals are under other petals will be your task.
G = Green Y = Yellow/Gold R = Red P = Pink
First, I added the dark green leaf (upper left). Then the lower red petals were added. I went to the back side of the block and stitched a contrasting thread on the sew line, so I know exactly where to place the next petal.
Then I added pink. (The fabric pattern is actually red and white, which gives an illusion of pink. I just happen to like this better than straight pink.)
Next, the yellow/gold.
Next, the red center of the flower is added.
Lastly, the last bit of green on the bottom.
I know that this is super simple for a lot of you, but I get requests from ladies who need help with the flower construction, so that is why I have included this tutorial. And, please, do not ask me what the actual name of the flower is. If you know, please leave that info in your comment.
