Flowers


44 flowers complete, 39 to go.

So far there are no duplicate flowers.  In order to make as many originals as possible and to use the 7 colors equally without ending up with too much red, for example, a nerdy solution presented itself.  I printed up 3 charts just like the one below:

One page is for the outer edge, one for the petals, and one for the second row.  The center colors are listed across the top.  I am making 12 of each center color, more or less, so the charts help me keep track of that without having to count all the flowers multiple times every day.

I saw an afghan online that had a lovely border that incorporated a few rows of tapestry crochet for a spot of color.  I am going to try it, so stay tuned.
