Thank you all for your kind words...the only reason I stayed consistent with the embroidery floss is to keep it simple - I spend quite a bit of time arguing with myself about what fabric will work with what fabric, changing my mind and changing it again that when it comes to embroidery I just don't have it in me to start audition the floss colours!

I have seen the blocks with different colour of embroidery and it seems to work very well.

Not sure if I'll use the lace flower or not. I thought about using lace and trim, but as I started with that, it was introducing additional colors into the "mix" and I didn't care for that.


I got on a role and now have all the pieces fused to fabric. I've got donuts raising in the oven almost ready to fry - then I'll head back upstairs.

Here are some of the ones I assembled yesterday. Ready for stitching!









I wanted to get those with the flower motif done first - so I didn't run out of fabric. Some of these needed four identical flowers to use.

And my hand stitched one - I don't have the pieces cut out for #29 of this set yet, but I think that will be the next one.



I was not happy with my inner or outer points, so I watched a bunch of how-to videos for ideas. I'm doing them a bit differently now, and a lot happier with the results.

Happy Valentines Day! What a perfect day for working on your hearts! Everyone's blocks are so beautiful....it is so fun to see the different variations.

Wow Macy, I'm really loving the kaleidoscope effect. They look amazing.

I did get the challenge block cut and fused and then I tackled block 3 which I have been avoiding because of all the little tiny pieces, so I guess we'll see how it turns out.

love all your blocks ladies! Just amazed how lovely they all look - we are doing the same blocks and they are all so different but it all works so well.

Cathy: Wow your productive. Love the fussy cut, so pretty. Can hardly wait until I get to the petal designs.

Kaelyn: Love you colors and the use of the Asian prints.

Got the pieces cut for the hand applique #29.

And - I got to try out the Perfect Circles too!
