I think the accent mark is on Labor for this project and I guess we must love it a lot to put this much labor into something. However with each new block it seems I find little things that I didn't do on the previous block that makes things seem a little bit easier. I've never been able to work with a thimble but with this project I have dug out ever thimble I ever owned and bought 4 new ones, there has to be one out there somewhere that I can work with. My finger tips are looking a lot like hamburger meat, lol.

Can't wait to see your final blocks, I can't even imagine how excited you must be to be this close.

My LBB Block 6

Block 6 is in the bag. I used an alternate ribbon and bow I really like from a book called "A Fine Finish" and then stuffed it. I like the way it came out.

Another beauty. Your bow looks really good. Keep it up. You'll be done in no time.

QuiltnNan, I haven't used any paint or pencils so far. The fabrics are all from my stash and the embellishments are all embroidery thread. A few of the leaves and flower pedals are actually the back side of printed fabric. I don't think the back side of fabric gets enough attention and it can sometimes be just the right piece you're looking for. Here's one piece that I have used the back side for several of the leaves. The first picture is the right side of the fabric and the 2nd is the back side.

My LBB Block 7

This one was nice and easy. I did add for couple extra rose buds because I really like these tiny rose buds so you will probably see a lot of them in future blocks.
