Hearts And Flowers Afghan # 1--Continued

The Afghan at the time of this photo (below) is 29 inch in diameter.  The crochet rounds making up the hearts is finished as well as the solid bar surrounding the hearts.  I'm getting ready to start the flower pots.  These rounds can be tricky because I did not follow exactly the design in my papercut, so now I have to count stitches to mark where each individual flower pot begins and ends.  We'll see what happens.

Hearts And Flowers Afghan #1

This is a continuation of the crochet "Hearts And Flowers".  I'm writing the pattern as I crochet the
design that I made using papercut technique.  For more info on papercut design please click the highlighted link.  I was thinking that I have to transfer the design on graph paper first, but I find out that I can crochet the design directly from the papercut itself.  The photo below shows my progress in crocheting the design.

Hearts And Flowers Papercut

I made this Papercut design with the hope of translating it into a more lasting durable art form such as quilt, hooked rug or stencil.  I just now thought of translating it into crochet.  So far, so good.  The challenge is, how  can  I duplicate closely the desing into crochet. 

I'm always fascinated with papercut designs but I want the design that I created to be in another media other than paper.   The photos below show my papercut and my crochet (still in progress).
