I am so close to having the background around the sunflower done.
Yikes......don't know if I am going to make it or not! The strips on the left-hand side of the photo are all I have left!
And of course....I don't have anymore of this wool.
I love the background color. It's called Faded Ivory from Sun and Wind Farm,

The piece I used started out lighter on one edge going to darker so I started by cutting and hooking the light color around the sunflower to give it more distinction. I love how the background gets darker farther away from the flower.
Hope I make it!!
I hope you make it. Happened to me once and I ended with a half a strip left.

ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!! You have been a hookin' fool. Is there a border around the faded ivory? So what's the next project?
Pug hugs :)

Oh Karen,
ReplyDeleteHow pretty is that!!! I love how the background gets darker around the edge! It looks like you may have just enough wool strips! That gets scary when it's so close! Happens to me quite a bit as I never use really accurate methods for how much wool it takes. On a larger rug I would try to have more than enough though!
Great job!
