This was definately a create-as-you-go project. I bought the big floral just to cut out the flowers. I was going to use the yellow/black leftovers for a scrappy border. But thought it needed more connection - the appliqué seemed too random. Sewed the yellow ricrac on the wrong seam so made a design decision to leave it since I hate to rip. I'm glad I tried it cause I now have another trick in my bag but if were doing it again would make some changes.
