Each of the leaves are made with a fishbone stitch, and the vines are embroidered with a split stitch. This can be an enjoyable project to complete in a longer period of time, thinking of ideas for different flowers.
I really like that each blossom is unique and that I never repeated it. It adds interest, because if you only stitched one flower it may become tiresome. Also, it is much more fun to examine each in turn. :)
Although a different fabric color might have been pretty, it is also an extremely busy embroidery, so even if I chose one solid color, it may clash with other flowers.
The most complex flower, by far, was the bullion knot rose (the blossom in the middle which has orange, red, and yellow hues). Bullion knots are very difficult.
However, the flower that probably took the longest time was either the blue lazy daisy variation, or the pink and yellow bloom, since it is a sort of padded satin stitch. (A satin stitch takes, in my limited experience, a very long time!)
