I am so happy with the way this block turned out. My hand applique is getting much better and I don't feel quite so fumble fingered when I do it. I had not attempted applique until I started working on these midget blocks, and my Dear Jane blocks as well, and I can see the improvement each time I complete a new applique piece.
My little circle on top of the flower turned out so well. I had been having trouble with making my circles round so I purchased the Perfect Circle templates by Karen Kay Buckley and I think that has helped tremendously. It really does help to start out with a circle that is an actual circle...when I would make my own circle templates they were never quite round!
From this picture you can see that I use up lots of scrappy bits and pieces.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Great job! That one was a fun one to make. Great color choices.
Very sweet block! It does feel good when you can see and feel the difference in your applique.:)
Hi Ellen
What a cute tulip! Great job! Love the purple fabrics your chose. Love sis
My mouth is hanging open in awe and I'm drooling a little. I can barely applique a big piece adequately! Oh, and tulips in any form are always nice.
