I saw someone comment upon finishing this one that they would be glad to never have to stitch another lazy daisy as long as they lived after doing this one. I can appreciate the sentiment! The random spacing, irregular size and direction of all those little leaves is extremely time consuming to count and stitch, but the effect is wonderful.
