I have never wanted to work with wool before but you are definitely inspiring me!
Your work is so meticulous and beautiful! |

Also, the pattern says to whipstitch the pieces to the background using one strand of matching floss & then blanket stitch with a contrasting color. This seems like a lot of extra work. I have minimal experience with wool. Can you use a fusible on wool? Also, do I prewash the wool? Thanks in advance for helping me out.

Love those blocks.

Your stitches are really very even but then you have been getting a lot of practice by doing all these blocks. Ha! I think my favorite so far is the birds/watermelon one that you show in this post. Two more blocks to go, yay! I have been meaning to ask (or maybe I already did and have forgotten) if you are using "wool felt" or "felted wool". There seems to be a difference and I am a bit confused by it all and wondering if they can be used interchangeably. Just bought a bunch of small cuts and a bag of felted wool from the guild table at a quilt show. Hopefully I will be able to use them. They were someone's cast offs I am sure but so cheap I could not pass them up.

How cute! I normally don't work with wool, but this series is seriously tempting me.
