"For the Love" by Sharon Burgess is a delicate beauty. Here's how the block goes together:
To save time tracing, print the patterns onto lightweight cardstock. Cut out the shapes. Cut the fabric 1/4" larger all the way around and baste the edges under to hold them in place.
To join the pieces, place two shapes right sides together with the edges even. Slide the needle through both pieces just at the edge without piercing the paper.
From the right side you won't be able to see the stitches that join the shapes. These basting stitches will be removed later.
Stitch the flower to the background square using matching thread. Use the side of your needle to tuck the extra fabric underneath when you reach the points. After stitching, remove the basting thread, cut the background away, and gently pull the paper out.
Be sure to stop over and visit Sharon Burgess to learn more about her.
