Last BOO BOO to fix on this Block HELP!!
I finally got the applique block done but it took two weeks before I finally found the grosgrain ribbon for a matching collar. I normally have learned to do applique and then trim down the block. That is where my OOPS is. I should have tape the stitching lines for the snowball corners. Any suggestion on how to simply fix this?? I can only think of two fixes:
1st: take the blanket stitches out, lift the applique up, snowball the block-press it into place and repress the Scotty back leg down and restitch.
2nd: try to applique the snowball corner around the Scotty's back leg.
ANY OTHER suggestion??? Which would be the easiest??? THANKS !! Will be glad to hand this block even if it is a week late. BETTER late than never !!!

I love it just the way it is. Your block has personality. Maybe the scotty is backing away from something he sees in front of him. It is so neat that you matched the applique colors to the other fabric. Good job!

I'd leave it alone. Dunster said above maybe he's backing away from something. My first thought was he's just taking his sweet time strolling into the center of the block. Either way he's adorable and unique.

I would either leave it alone or, after stitching the block, applique a bush or flower over the back leg so it looks as if he is emerging from behind a plant. I was going to suggest adding a fire hydrant, but ........
