Floral 9 Patch, Continued

The outer ring of blocks is pretty well set (the two remaining corners will be easy, and I will do those last). What doesn't look as balanced as I would like here will be remedied with the embellishments. It is great to remember that the piecing is only the first layer of the quilt...Next up is the center block, 15" square, which I actually think I will applique by hand. I want to be really slow and steady and sure of what is happening there.
Plus, I can work on it outside!
