LOL Nothing is hand embroidered...two of the blocks, on your right, have a decorative stitch from my vintage Singer 401A sewing machine! My regular working girl, aka my Bernina, was being serviced. I am going to sew on the Singer more, I kind of enjoyed it! Thanks Sharon and Sherre! :)
PS: The only hand stitching I have done, is Week #17 on the block with 4 little circles. I remember why I don't that!! Probably, that circle block will be the only one that has hand stitching!

Wilhelmina, I love your blocks, I don't blame you wanting to machine stitch as much as possible. Each time I finish a machine worked piece and look on it as a huge lesson learned. By the way I adore your avatar picture.

Wil...those look wonderful! I love your red floral background...what a great way to use that one. I'm struggling with that larger print and still have some of the green, red and black colorway of it left at this point. On the larger blocks its hard for me to use because I just have the jellyroll strip.
I agree with the others...you pointy points look great on your applique!

Sharon, I should have known what you meant, LOL but I too was brain dead too, what a day. Anyway, here is a pic of the back of the block. Anyway, I thought you believed I hand stitched the finish, NOT it is a decorative stitch and a nice sharp pair of scissiors for those lovely points!
Thanks to all for the support!
I don't do hand work, arthritis kicks up to big a fuss.
