Not much of in a sewing mood I wanted to go for something easy and tried this gift box.............it took me 3 hours till the darn wrapping bands matched!? Its a 12" block and I paper pieced wasting a lot of fabric - only say one thing: mirror image!
BTW I am the one with the pp 6" miniquilts :oops:

finally done I thought it does not really look 3D so I wanted to try to outline the edges with a decorating stitch. Still had enough brain left to change the stitching plate only to start a decorating stitch with the 1/4" quilting foot slamming the needle into pieces!?
Gave up that idea as it does not look good and figured that adding a bow will do the job.

Any good idea on how to work that bow??
Thanks for listening

It looks 3d from Louisiana! I love the block. I wish I could help with the bow but I can't. Just wanted to tell you that you do such beautiful work. Some days it seems like everything fight me, too. Hang in there!

Looks great from here.

Everything you post is so nice.

If you want dimension a 3-D pinwheel might be cute.

It looks very nice! I probably would have given up before you. I make a bow and applique it on,lol!

Could you do a form of a yo yo maybe? With little ribbons coming out from underneath. It's really neat looking though! Great job!

Venting helped - thank you all so much.

Changed the stitchplate back and reattached the 1/4" foot AND SLAMMED THE NEXT NEEDLE as I still was on the deco stitch!
I figured just to do it as simple as possible and the way I do it on a real gift box. I like it and hopefully it will find its place on the three skirt.

Yoyo would be a great idea, will have to try it out.

I think you did a great job. 3D here!

Looks 3D in Iowa :-).
