Like the gold centres of the round petal chrysanthemum’s they are stitched round and round but, unlike most of the gold centres, They are highly irregular in shape!

I began by following the outline of the leaf. In some cases, the leaf is partly obscured by something else, as is with this one. For the first few rows I stopped where the two met and restarted a fresh row.

I continued in this way until section of the leaf becomes closed and then proceed to couch round and round until that area is completely filled.

The remain areas where then completed in the same way.

Happy Stitching.
