Someone had posted directions for this years ago and I saved them. So, I'm going to cut and paste them here, but I don't know who to give credit to.
Rose Pillow:
I've made quite a few of these rose pillows and they turned out great!
For the pattern I've used an old shoulder pad and took the pattern from it to use as the small petal.
For the med. petal, just add an inch all around, the larger petal, add 2 inches all around. Make a template from cardboard or paper. Make 5 large petals-4 med petals-3 small petals.

My pattern version for Rose Pillows, you can change these directions to suit your needs.
2/3 yd. Taffetta/silk/satin (your choice of color)
2/3 yd. muslin
1/2 yd. broadcloth (green) or use choice from above
polyfil
thread to match
From shoulder pad--make template for petals -- 3 small--4 medium--5 large
From large dinner plate, make template for circle-- for leaves, make 2 at least 3 x 5 from freehand
Directions:
From taffetta/satin--cut 5 large petals (2 pieces for each) 4 medium and 3 small
From broadcloth--cut same as for taffetta above ( I do this so when sewing is being done, there is less puckering)
From (green) --cut 2 large circles and 2 leaves, reverse template and cut 2 more.
Leaves/: sew around leaves outer edge leaving the bottom open-turn right side out and fill lightly with polyfil. Stitch leaves 1/4" around edges and down thru middle (making veins)
Place leaves inside of circle (one circle-then leaves-then another circle) make sure leaf bottom will catch with raw edges of circle. Sew around circle catching leaves and leaving enough room open to turn right side out. Turn right side out. Fill circle with polyfil--stitch around edge of circle catching opening--now stitch center of circle for veins--(your choice of how many times--mine as I stitched I made some curves in them)
Green leaves and bottom now finished.
Petals:
sew muslin petals--leave opening at bottom. Turn right side out--fill lightly--stitch closed
Sew taffetta pieces together leaving bottom open--turn right side out--with same size--place muslin petal inside of taffetta petal and sew opening closed. Repeat for all petals.
Joining Petals: Row 1--pin 5 large petals in a circle overlapping so will fit on outer edge of green circle--gather petals at bottom if desire or just make a tuck or dart--once you have the right size--sew on machine at bottom edges all around connecting all petals. set aside.
Row 2--using the 4 medium petals, repeat as for row
1.
Row 3--place the 3 small petals on top of one another and sew across connecting all three together.
Hand sew from here on in:
Place first row of petals (5) on green-fitting close to outer edge--whip stitch to green carefully so you don't go thru to other side. Place second row inside of first row and whip stitch edges to green. Last row of 3--place inside of row 2 (make sure you separate the bottom edges so you have an edge all around the 3 petals to whip stitch to green.
To finish:
Stitch where 3 petals meet petals of 2nd row--pull tightly so thread doesn't show--then stitch 2nd row to 1st row of (5) petals---when I stitched mine I whipped stitch close to the bottom of the petals.
Using green thread--whip stitch around bottom edge of green circle including the leaves (top part of leaves leave alone) to first row of (5) petals
Rose is now complete.
Hope everyone enjoys and can follow my directions: I'm sure after your first one, the second comes easier. Also if you pin your project first, you'll get a better idea as how to it will look.
Have fun, and hope this helps someone out.
Forgot to give measurements of the petals in the above pattern: Just realized that there are different size of shoulder pads so here are the measurement of the ones that I've used:
Small petal: 6 1/4"
Medium petal: 7 1/2"
large petal: 9 1/2"
