Thanks, Sewingitalltogether. Yes, the embellishments just make them come alive. At least that's what I think. Doing the applique is one thing but doing all the embroidery, coloring and painting is something else again. I have so much fun doing these though. It reminds me of when I was a little girl and I'd watch the Polaroid picture develop before my eyes.
I had a hard time deciding about how to shade the bow on #20 so I was working on #22 while I decided. I have it done now so I'll post that one, hopefully today.
I'm back at square one now. I have to cut some background squares, trace the picture and start the applique to the next set of 4. It will be awhile before I have block #23 done.
