Blooming again

Thanks for all your comments on my scrappy flowers and buds.

I made a few bigger leaves today

and auditioned backgrounds,

finally settling on this black Lipinski print

These blocks are big -- about 17 by 20 inches

Here's the full blown flower on the right, and three buds on the left.

I've started to hand applique the leaves on the left block.

This may be the first of a series of blocks, or maybe not.
