Don't You Just Love Them?

The crocheted African Flowers that is, I certainly do.  From the first time I saw this flower I thought, you know with a little bit of color change it could be made to look like a pansy.  I'm sure most of you have made several of these and in all color combinations.  But that is where my problem comes in, I can't decide which colors I like the best.  I wanted to make a tote bag but it seemed like I was getting into an arguement with myself about the colors.  Soooo, I think I may just make sort of a patchwork tote and make the last row of the motif all the same color to bind the different colors together.  Anyway, the link below is to a tutorial on making this motif and I hope you have better luck than me on your color choices.  Take care and enjoy the flowers.
