Here is how I go about it. First I print out a photo of the block and mark the half way mark. The photo is about 7 inches. Then I cut out some of this grid pattern making fabric. The size I am going for is 14 inches.
Then I start cutting some templates/shapes from graph paper. Don't know why but the graph paper works best for me...helps give me perspective as I start trimming. Usually I start with the largest piece (the vase), then a medium (the pear) and then a small (a bud). I want them to be right relative to one another. Also, I use a clothes pin to keep the templates together...when they are labeled in red they are the final one!
In the past I've done a mock-up using colored construction paper to check my templates. This time I had piles of felted wool on the cutting table soooo.....
The colors are a nod to the original....and just need to be pressed on to the flannel background and a bit of stitching...
So now I have to go by the fabric store on Monday and get more of this bright green flannel...looks like I'll be making two small quilts this summer!

Interesting how you use the grid for your design work. Had not thought of that. I have some large applique blocks left to stitch and placement of the many parts is hard to do and have for everything in that area. There is a small line drawing on a graph in the pattern book. I could probably use the grid fabric over my background and line things up that way.
Very interesting. I always love learning how people work. Thanks for sharing.
Fun. Hope the kitties leave your thread alone.
I'm impressed!
And I LOVE your wool version!
your articles are always awesome, and the design of your website helps to keep it beautiful.

Loved the put up, can make me feel bad about how normal ours is. I’d be interested to see the CTR/Conversion rates from some of them.
