It took hours but I sewed those new pieces for a center that pops. The other sections are more yellow than they show here...but it looks more like what I wanted. I think this is one of those patterns that I will have to try again in all brights to make me happier! I was trying to capture the look of the Dahlias my Dad used to grow with this one!
I have pressed the 1/4" all around the last row of petals so that I can applique them to the background color.
Soon it will have my attention again.
