Cherry branch next

The green underskirt is done. SSH on one side, and don't think I need to SSH the opposite narrower side. At this point I'm kind of stuck. I don't know if the next underskirt layer foundation for the lattice holding has to be weft stitch, or if using diagonal stitch will cause the lattice to sink into the foundation.  I can do the cherry branch, leaves and flowers next. As these are in the foreground, I cannot do the kimono top layers without these being finished first.  I may pause after the cherry branch until after Mary Alice's class next week.
