Diva Challenge #107 - Quandary

This week, the Diva challenge is to use the new official tangle "Quandary."  It can be found on the Zentangle website. This was a bit of a challenge for me. I just could not get the pattern to stay together without it becoming a jumbled mess of random spilled rice.  I tried using the triangle method as in Maria's instructions.

And I tried using the flower grid for the 1st one as in Ellen Wolter's video demo. Yeeeaaahhh, I didn't click with either method. After some practice, and many crumpled up peices of scrap paper I finally got it down.

I had already started a Valentine's Day tangle using TanglePattners String 039. A cute little heart. So, I decided to complete the unfinished tangle adding in some Quandry somewhere. After my initial difficulty with Quandry, I decided to not try anything fancy and just use it as a background.
