Flower Power Challenge: Making Adjustments
When I last showed you my Flower Power Challenge piece, it looked like this:

Since then, I’ve made a few changes. I:
– over painted the leaves in the bottom right quadrant.
– added some pink to the top left quadrant.
– rearranged the two pieces on the right, so the top colorful edges matched.
– began to think about how to integrate the designs of the two right quadrants.
One of the things I considered for that last point was adding some abstracted petal points, in hot pink. I auditioned that idea with some little paper pieces.
I decided to do that, and I also added a skinny yellow band in the bottom left quadrant. This mimics the yellow band in the top right quadrant and helps to integrate the graphic and organic elements.
Next, I quilted the center and added some hot pink hand quilting around the new pointy petals. Soon, I’ll finish the quilting and maybe add a few more hand stitches.
