Hug of Hearts 17. Tally Trio

 17 Tally Trio Heart


This Flower Trio Heart shows how just changing the start point of a tally can alter the amount of petals on a flower and how easy it is to pop a couple of picots in anywhere!  Choose your own edge techniques.  The two samples show 4 and 6 petal flowers and 2 different edges.   16 pairs for both the 4 and 6 petal minimum.  

I started the heart on its side, so I made one flower completely first.  This meant I could carry a plait in with the passives and reuse it to make more tallies.  One plait crosses or joins the point of the valley to be used on the other side.  My aim was to use as few pairs as possible by working the most economical path.
