Fabric Flower Brainstorm

This is my attempt at a fabric flower. I have been checking out heaps of tutorials and blogs of late and not quite found quite the right thing for me. This is closer to the type of thing that I want. I need to play around with different types of fabric and see how they fall/gather.
