The petals needed to be curved and in specific sizes so I traced them from my drawing and then flip the tracing paper and retraced them with the fusible. I placed the petals on my fabric choices and fused them on. Then each was cut and placed on the already cut seed center of the sunflower.
I kept my drawing close with the numbers of each petal on both the drawing and the fusible along with the color.
Once I was happy with the construction of the sunflower petals I fused them on top of my teflon sheet.
Then I place it where my paper was on the quilt top to see how it was looking. (You can see I have already cut the center for one other one.) I like how it is looking so tomorrow I will add the leaves and the connection to the stem at the top of the petals. Once that is done I will audition it again and tweak whatever needs tweaking before fusing it to the quilt top.

I need to go through my files and see if I can find something to try fusible with. I do have an old ship I took in our harbor, maybe something for my husband's office.

I like how it looks, too.
Looking good.
