The first block is called Wild Rose. I used my clover bias maker 1/4 inch to create my flower stem (ok, it is a little bigger than it should be but it is my block!).
The leaves I traced the shapes onto freezer paper and pressed to the top of the fabric. Cut out with a seam allowance and then pulled off the paper and put it on the back and pressed the edges onto it to form the leaves to appliqué down. The flowers - I left the freezer paper on the top and used needle turn appliqué to turn and shape the flowers. The circle... I cut a shape onto card stock and basted the yellow fabric over it to create the perfect circle. Then I just used appliqué to attach it and cut through the back of the project up to the front to remove the card stock.

Cute block Deb! I think it is a great idea to share your process.
So tiny are highly adorable. What a fun quilt this will be by the end of the year.
Very pretty. 52 of this kind of little beauty will make a gorgeous quilt!
What a cute block!! How do you remove the freezer paper from the back of the leaves? I took a class where we put freezer paper on the back of the cut pieces and after they were appliqued to the background, we cut a small hole in the back of the background and pulled the freezer paper out. It worked pretty well for me but our cut pieces weren't so tiny ... I don't know if that technique would work for such small pieces. I'd like to use more applique ... ala Kim Diehl.
Love your little block.. will be looking forward to Tuesday's this year for sure! :) Kathi
These are so cute!
