The lighthouse in quadrant 3 pattern was created from stacked alternating light and medium tan trapezoids. Quadrant 4 lighthouse pattern is stacked white and red trapezoids. That would mean that it is similar in color to quadrant 2 in color and similar to quadrant 4 in shape. I went to my browser to search images of lighthouses. I saw a blue and white stacked trapezoids with an anchor painted. I saw another blue and white diamond patterned lighthouse. I decided to make a diamond lighthouse with an anchor. I drew my version of a lighthouse so that it would conform in height with the pattern. I used the top section of the pattern and placed it on top of my diamond patterned column. I have still to add the embroidery elements to finish it off but I quite like the result. Now to fill in the houses and blossoms from the lighthouse in quadrant 2 to the lighthouse in quadrant 3.
I have been working on this for 3 months. I anticipated completing a quadrant a month but that is not happening. Now I am hoping to be done before Thanksgiving. That seems like a reasonable target. So far I have most of the interior of quadrant 3 completed. I decided to wait on the blossoms until I get the exterior of the quadrant done so that the color choices work well. I am headed back to quadrant 2 to work on the exterior houses and their associated blossoms.
