Being that my camera is not currently working, I will try to explain how I made that fabric flower on my "Without Measure" layout.
Firstly, thanks to Lide de Witte who taught us to make paper flowers at Inspired using the following method:
Graduate each layer of the flower - ie, I cut the quilting fabric into a 6 x 6 square, then the red angelina is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2, then the lawn is 5 x 5. Fold the square into quarters, and then in half again, to form a triangle, keeping all open sides together. Cut a rounded petal shape at the top of the triangle, and then the bottom off to form the middle of the flower. Stitch around the middles and then gather. I layered up using giant glue dots and glue. I tore strips out of the tissue paper and scrunched. And then I altered a bit of lace with the appropriately coloured Promarker. I glued it all into place with wet glue and more glue dots. Hopefully that will make sense! It is really quite easy when you know how.
