Cherry Tree Block 15


This block was quite bitsy to make.  Lots of little bits that I was not real keen on.  I only left off one insignificant flower.  The centre I did twice.  I was going to just put the large floral fabric in the centre.  In fact I did do it, but it did not look right, and I unpicked.  The 5 layers were just too many, so put the flower back in again.  I was a bit worried that the leaves overlapping the basket would disappear, but they show up ok in the photo.  Very pleased to have it done - now I can go on with other jobs piling up.  Wendy W

  1. You did a wonderful job on an unusual block. I love the fabric you used on the basket.

  2. Your block turned out beautifully - after the tedious placement of the same leaves again and again in #2, I am looking forward to doing one of the baskets - love all your bits of color and the description you give about the multiple layers...

  3. That looks like a LOT of reverse applique - so not my favorite to do - and you did a beautiful job. Is the center flower broderie perse? Your block is beautiful!

  4. The reverse applique is tedious, but you could cut it back and only do 3 slits and not 6. Yes, it is Broderie Perse, done as needle-turn.

  6. Taking things out is hard but you will be happy you did later on, looks great. The flower in the center looks like it was hard to do?
