I feel like silk thread slides through the fabric more easily and is less noticeable than hand quilting thread or other threads.

I like your fabric and color combinations. Looks Rustic to me..and I love rustic. Im still auditioning fabrics for this block. I'm having trouble deciding. I love this block so much I am thinking about making one and substituting it for one of the blocks in the quilt Im working on for my grandaughter. Again wonderful block Hopetoquilt.

Very nice, HopetoQuilt...You're braver than I am, lolo - I always do applique by machine, using different stitches, depending on the item I'm appliquing. Kudos to you..

Here is my version of April Tulips. I want my quilt to be all paper pieced, so I selected a pattern from Carol Doak. It is actually called May Flowers.

Nicky.......Your paper pieced Tulip block is also wonderful. I just love it too!! All of the colors you have put together with your black back ground just pop so nicely!! Carol Doak's patterns are so awesome to work with. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us today!!
