Lynnie, I love your fabric choices!!! I find that to be really hard (my DH helps me). I know in a second if I've made the wrong decision, so I audition a lot.
I like your second block the best too...it does seem to pop more, although I like the 1st one too. I don't think you could go wrong either way.
As for the technique, you'll just have to make a personal decision- machine vs. by hand. I am doing needle turn by hand as its a technique that I really want to learn and get better at doing. I also need a hand work project for tv time at night with DH. There are lots doing machine though.

Thanks for giving me the link to the post for all the AOTH projects Kathy.
I love your block by the way, canīt think of your name now, the one without the embroidery, colours work well.
