Directions

Referring to diagram stitching order is blue square, red wraps, green small squares and triangles. Note that the blue square is stitched from the outside in rather than the usual inside out. Stitched with 2 strands in needle. Color order is pink square and wraps, green small shapes for first two rounds, then reversed for the third round, then back to pink on large square and wraps, finish with green on small shapes filling in as needed.

Notes

Done for a Stitch Along on TalkTemari. (Direct link here.) I'm not happy with the stitching quality as I finished filling in; it looks far better in the pic or from a distance than up close in reality.
