Opinions Wanted
#1
I picked up a Curious George coloring book with the intent to make some applique blocks from it. That is if my 5 year old does not take it from me before I get them all done :lol:
I have picked out the pictures that I would like to do. I have created one block from scrap fabric to test everything out. I tried to stitch in the eye brows but was not happy with my ability to do so, so I used a permanent black marker to put in the black lines. I am more happy with this option. Not sure what I will do with the tongue, will have to think about it. Did do a ziz-zag on one of the feet for the accent lines. Not sure about that one either. I am liking the accent lines on George, they seemed to turn out good.
Looking for any and all opinions on this "TEST" block. One more thing to mention, my applique skills are what a person would call a newbie, but I am willing to try anything.
