Is it possible for you to keep the backup for now?
If so run the following commands:
1) Keep the backup
# mv /var/lib/libvirt/images/fedora21.qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/fedora21.qcow2.orig
2) Copy the resized qcow2 from thumb drive to /var/lib/libvirt/images/fedora21.qcow2
3) Boot up the VM and provide the following output:
# fdisk -l
# pvdisplay
# lvdisplay
# vgdisplay
Once this info is provided we can advise on how to expand the filesystem.
Regards,

You have (re)start the virtual machine and increase and reorganise your storage from inside the virtual machine the same way as your would do it with a physical machine.
The details depend on the current structure of your (virtual) disk. How did you originally create your VMs disk image?
Usually you may have:
Partition 1: biosboot or efi
Partition 2: Linux file system /boot
Partition 3:
either (a) a filesystem containing all your data
or (b) a LVM VG, containing a logical volume with a file system for root.
What is your storage structure?
