I had to look up those terms (to see how long it should be in the oven).
Persian Embroidery & German Scissor Cutting - with blocks like these you will have a whole new repertoire of skills by the end.
It will be a lovely finished item but also a fun journey. I can't really comment on color choices - I find it difficult to work with batiks - I end up with a muddy mix of mid-range material (say it 3 times quickly). : )
I look forward to seeing the blocks you post. Thanks for sharing.
