This photo shows the central section, with the major felt sections in place, and the minor ones left until later. That in turn means that the colour range is not quite right, because the greeny-teal is missing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it does show, however, is that the disheartening spotty effect I experienced with the Piano Shawl is entirely prevented by the couched stems!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since my blue felt was made using layers of blended wool sliver it has some slight variation of colour, which I was hoping to pull out in my stitching. That may not quite work, but at least I can try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spine of the central leaf is Square Chain, with the corners couched down with a darker thread, and the edge is closed feather stitch.
