Free-hand flowers on Minkee

I love stitching these free-hand flowers! This baby quilt really shows off the pointy petals. See the brightest pink squares? They are made of Minkee fabric...so soft and yummy. But so hard to sew with at first. My problem was that I was stitching these four patches together by hand (I like to piece by hand while traveling and watching tv...) Even though my needle was sharp, it just didn't work. I recommend sewing Minkee by machine! Here's a few notes to make it easier on you than it was on me! http://www.acommonthreadfabrics.com/pages/Minkee_Tips.html
