    After some trial and error, I finished the bobbin work on my first block..I am not thrilled with it, but it is my first time so I just have to go through the learning curve..if I do get better, I'll make this one again. I am so jealous of all the pretty work you all are doing...one day, I aspire to get half as good as you all.

    Oh, I forgot to say, thanks for introducing me to bobbin work, even though I am still learning, it is a lot of fun, I can see myself using it again and again. And I did omit some parts on the outer hearts, don't need to make more starts and stops for myself than I need to :lol:

    Your Block is beautiful, and the bobbin work is also very good. I wouldn't change it either!

    I'm sorry I posted all of my blocks on page 20 and even duplicated a few. I didn't realize that there were other topic pages to do that. : (
