My challenge for this rug was to use very faded and barely-there colours. To create background interest, I added a few areas of a lighter value in some areas.

This pattern is meant to be hooked balanced by colour, not by flower positioning, because it won't work as well!

Shirley Dillard started the one below with me at a workshop near Athens, GA in March...and brought it to Caraway Camp all completed in June. Beautiful antique look, and fast work, Shirley!
