Work in Progress Wednesday

 This piece I started with the thought of it working for the Radical Botanical challenge.  I decided that it wasn't going to work for that challenge but I am still interested in finishing it.  It seemed like it might be close to the right size to cover a journal or altered book so I went hunting for one of those.  I have an altered book for which it will work.  I have added some big loose quilting stitches to attach it to some felt and make it a bit more sturdy.   I didn't want this to turn into a big project but I think it is going to.  That seems like a bit of a waste to me as the altered book needs to sit open.  Always.  Therefore the cover will rarely be seen.  I will have to ponder all of this.  It seems more economical to keep the cover simple.  But what about the enjoyment of creating a luscious garden?  I think the economy of time is winning out at the moment because of all the things I need to get done before leaving on my holiday.  This project can wait until I return
