You have the Melinda Bula kit. If you look in the kit, you will probably find a smaller 8 1/2 x 11 drawing of the larger drawing. That is what you go by once the larger one is set up. Once the base leaves are on, you can even remove the larger one if you need too. I did her zinnia pattern in a class. What she had us do is lay down the large pattern and cover it with parchment paper. Pin the paper together till the entire flower is covered. Tape won't stick. Take a sharpie and number the parchment paper around the flower. That helps with orientation like the numbers on a clock. In the zinnia kit, we did one color at a time. She specified in the pattern, using the smaller diagram to lay out the details. I've made 9 zinnias so far. The first one takes days and days, now it only takes a few hours to complete. Enjoy, the Iris is beautiful.
