I figured out the flower!

So one day after saying I couldn't figure out how to make that flower, I figure it out! Woo hoo!!
This is how you do it..
1. Cut a strip of fabric to whatever length and width you want. (Keep in mind how big you want your flower to end up)
2. Thread your needle FIRST. This way you don't ruin what you've accomplished in the next step.
3. Roll one end of the fabric and thread the needle so that it won't fall off. like this..

4. Twist the fabric into a tight rope and roll into a spiral


5. White rolling into a spiral, be sure to be stitching each layer to the previous one. This is how it all stays together. If you wait to stitch it all until the end, it's going to come apart extremely easily and if you're like me, that will be very frustrating :)

6. When it's done it should look something like the picture below. Mine turned out like this...

7. You can stitch them together too! I love that look, so I made 2 more and did just that. This is how it looks..
