4. Fill empty spaces with small flowers and mini rosettes.
5. Mix the colors naturally rather than keeping each color in one area.
6. Add pearl centers to selected flowers.

8. Make sure the flowers overlap slightly so there are very few visible gaps.

Finishing

Check the back and trim all loose yarn ends. If desired, add a small hanging loop to the top of the U so it can be displayed on a wall, door, or craft room.
