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
You did a wonderful job on an unusual block. I love the fabric you used on the basket.
ReplyDeleteYour 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...
ReplyDeleteThat 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!
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteI think it turned out beautiffuly.
ReplyDeleteTaking 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?
