Instructions: (use a 7mm or 1/4 inch seam allowance when sewing the blocks together)
1. Print out the flower template so that it measures about 15 centimeters or 6 inches at the widest point. Glue the printed flower onto a piece of coardboard such as a cereal box and use this as a template. Use a trick marker and trace 4 flowers onto white felt and cut these out. Applique now a flower onto each square using a decorative stitch. Before you completely finish sewing around the flower, stuff batting lightly inside the flower to give it dimension).
2. Sew two blocks together. Then sew the other two blocks together. Then sew each set to each other so that you have a square.
3. Sew a button on each flower.
4. Measure the finished pillow front and then cut a piece of white felt with these exact measurements. Pin the wrong sides together and sew the pillow front and the pillow back to each other. Leave an opening for turning. Now turn and stuff as desired. When finished, stitch the opening close.
