Flower Pillow

This is a project I've been working on forever.  I hope to get it done this summer, but who knows.  I've been having so much fun working on it I'm not sure that I want to finish it!  I was inspired by a pattern in The New Crewel by Katherine Shaughnessy.  (It's a great book!)

 I took a pattern from her book, expanded it and changed the colors to match an afghan that my grandmother made:

Here's what I have so far.  I plan to make this into a throw pillow when I finally finish the flowers.
