Improvement on Saturday's work

Of course it all had to start with picking something out. Specifically, the blue curved shape on the right that was so obviously not symmetrical with the one on the left side. One of the great things about buttonhole stitch is that it's quick and easy to pull out and damage to the fabric is minimal.

Using tracing paper, I drew over the shape on the left side of the design - the one I wanted to replicate on the right side but in mirror image.

Then I flipped the paper over (mirror image!) and, using a very sharp pencil point, I gently pierced the paper, leaving dots on the fabric for the new, improved shape. I didn't have to remove any of the lines that I'd incorrectly drawn because the new shape covered most of it. Whew!As I drew the new shape onto the fabric, I could see that I'd elongated and flattened out the curve of the original shape when I transferred it to the fabric. Although they still aren't identical, they now have the same general shape and look much, much better.The other bits were quite easy to fix - a matter of taking out the offending parts of the lines and re-stitching them more carefully and with more gentle curves.The piece isn't completely symmetrical, as you can see if you really examine it closely. I took a few minutes to look slowly and carefully at the photo of the completed design and it isn't perfectly symmetrical either. All of you who left comments had such good points about symmetry in design and in nature. This is a design based on flowers and nature isn't perfectly symmetrical all the time, is it? So I'm now happy with how it looks - the glaring differences have been removed - and I'm ready to go on to the next part.And, yes, I probably will stitch this design again. Not right away, but it's a good project for practicing certain stitches (long and short especially!) and the result is just beautiful. The hardest thing will be to decide on a different color combination! Any ideas?
