I am in the red white and blue block swap here on the board and I wanted to share with you all the ones I have so far. I am wondering about the USA block. Do you think it would be better to use red thread for the top of the letters and blue on the bottom to out line it? The pic shows it all done in a dark navy. Thoughts?

I am in the same swap. I love the one with the all navy just like shown. I really like this block.

I love your blocks. I really like the navy outline. It makes the letters pop up. I don't think the affect will be the same with red thread. Is that USA done on embroidery machine?

I vote for the navy thread! The contrast looks great.

No just a set I drafted up onto graph paper and then I used the iron on applique thermal stuff to place it on the background. (the name escapes me now) Then a outline blanket stitch (built in) to sew it down.


Thank you all so much for your thoughts. I will finish up with the navy like you say, it does make it stand out.
