When I looked at them the word &#8216;florets&#8217; came to mind. Yes, like broccoli, but not broccoli. Nicer than broccoli-not that there is any thing wrong with broccoli, but fabric is much better. So I am calling these joined segments florets.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things about this method is that I put all the squares together at once. I sew the same segments to each other until all of the blocks are done and then I move to the next segment. When I start finishing the blocks, they will be done quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, I am working on the Flowering Snowball.
