For these flowers work a French knot in the flower colour and then use a thinner green thread to work 3 french knots around the flower knots.
I have also joined the right side blocks to make this into another unit of 6 blocks…I had a bit of difficulty with the lower part of the seam with the ball of wool makeing it bulky and the velvet making it slippery…I had to unpick my first effort and unpick the ball of wool and then I tacked the seam before machine stitching the seam.
I have used double knot stitches in both directions on the new intersection.

You do the most beautiful seams. I learn so much from your blog! Those French Knot flowers are wonderful, and I’m going to try some right this minute. Thanks!
