Joanie, I keep looking at your picture and it looks like
your roses are appliqued and the leaves are embroidered. It's really hard to tell in the photo. The piece is really
beautiful. I'd like to know a little more about it.

The second one is just 3 fabrics and has been less frustrating. I don't know how soon I will attempt a crazy quilt. It was fun to do the embellishments but the actual squares gave me fits.

LOL That block is called "I have no clue what I'm doing". I started with a random piece of fabric and added around it to fill the square the size I needed. I was trying to make the squares different but they turned out very similar since my mind doesn't like random. I then turned them and tried to use the embellishments to make each look unique. I kind of figured there was no right or wrong just "design opportunities". It got to be fun after I got the blocks finished and started to embellish them.
