Fold the green print 1-3⁄8 ×5" bias strip in half lengthwise with the wrong side inside; press. Stitch 1⁄4" in from the raw edges to keep them aligned. Fold the strip in half again, hiding the raw edges behind the first folded edge to create the flower stem; press.

2. Using small slip stitches and threads in colors that match the fabrics, appliqué the pieces in place, working from the bottom pieces to the top.
