I went to our monthly guild meeting on Saturday and one of the ladies had pulled out a UFO to work on & I fell in love with the block. I took pictures of hers (red) and found 1/4”gingham today to start a block of my own (dk gray). A few questions to you knowledgeable quilters. Because this is hand embroidered how do you stop the “bunching”of fabric within stitches (loosening?), can I use size 10 crochet thread instead of floss, and finally (for now) does the block need to be backed with something to prevent overall “bunching/gathering”? Thank you!
