Growing leaves

There are so many things about this project that I love. It is an ideal warm weather project. Instead of my being draped in three layers of fabric on a warm day, each 8" square is hand appliqued. I am machine sewing strips together. It is portable. Each square of the batik has different colorings. When I want a mindless project, it's there.
The beige appliques are the center of the piece. Once the medium blue rows are complete, I make a decision about where to go next - repeat the beige or aqua? borders?
