Trace the leaf design on the dull side of plastic coated freezer paper.<br />
Trace and cut 232 leaf templates.<br />
If necessary, cut your fabric into approximately 6" wide strips.<br />
Place a 6"wide strip wrong side up on your ironing board. Position<br />
freezer paper templates on the rectangle, shiny side up, on the bias,<br />
leaving room for a ⅜" seam around the template. Press the templates<br />
onto the fabric. Trim the excess fabric, leaving ⅜" around the pattern.<br />
You can get about 5 leaves per 22" strip.<br />
6" wide<br />
fabric bias<br />

edge of the leaf bonding the fabric to the shiny side of the freezer paper<br />
template.<br />

In the remaining steps , you be adding the leaves to the quilt top. Since<br />
the freezer paper is shiny side up, the area that is not covered by the<br />
fabric edge is still sticky and exposed. Lay petals on the fabric and iron<br />
in them place to hold them while sewing. Cut out the back and remove<br />
the paper.<br />
