I do have a conundrum, Three of the blocks have white in them instead of the requested cream and they look a bit odd with the other blocks. I also have a few blocks with cream and a little bit of white in the cream that fit in perfectly with the rest. I’d like to use all the blocks. Do you think If I did heavy FMQ with cream thread on the white parts that would make them fit in better?
Thread painting shrinks the fabric and makes it heavy. I’d try very dark coffee applied with q-tip. Or ink-tense pencils. Apply aloe on the fabric around the white and let it dry. This keeps water from seeping onto the other fabric. When white is dry, wash out the aloe.
