I did a DWR with various yellow pirnts w/little bit of red for the curves. Intersection were red...really popped. Gave it to a friend for her 50th wedding anny but unfortunatly lost her husband two years before their anny. Finised it any way and never told her the real reason for the gift.
Would like to make another one for me but not sure of the color scheme.
This time I will use Marti Michelle's templates. The dots help to keep you from sewing too far and then having to unsew.
Don't be afraid of the pattern. Just decided if it will be scrappy or a planned color scheme.
