Day 7 of work on a bigger pattern

Here's today's progress:


I'm glad to be working on the bottom part of the pattern at last because it means the end is in sight.  I'm not sure I love the "filling" inside the larger paisley on the right.  The space looked really empty to me when it was all black so I added the little vaguely floral motifs in three vertical columns but then I realized that they needed to be connected to each other and to the outside white area or they would be lost if the pattern were turned into a stencil.  So I added the vertical stripes to connect them all.  Now I'm not so sure I like those stripes which seem a bit bar-like to me.  Maybe if they were narrower? Or maybe I should have just made the inner scalloped edge of the paisley wider so that there was less dark space in the center.  Hmmm.
