LE Borders -- It's All in the Numbers (or, Why do borders take longer to stitch?)

This one particular element of the border design is simply:

1 center times 4 (because there are 4 equal designs)

This was done in dark purple, with a reverse applique on fabric matching the background, not the background fabric.

8 teardrops times 4 -- 32

AND, the leafy green things:

8 of them times 4 -- 32

After the applique, the final step (not yet done) is to refine all edges with a toothpick to make all curved parts absolutely round and appealing to the eyes. Then press, then double-check the smoothness of all parts with another toothpick scrutinization.

Inside petal turn under line is approximately  1/16 to 1/32nd of an inch.
