I made my cherries/grapes slightly larger than the pattern, so they are close and some are overlapping; therefore, I may not do the embroidery stems, but we will see. For now, I am posting a picture as it is now minus a couple of the cherries because of the size (the original has 112).
I am finding that I like sewing cherries down, but not prepping them. It's very tedious getting them to the point of stitching onto the blocks. I am sure glad to have this one behind me now.
My DD's wedding is less than two weeks, so not sure I will get to another block, but I will sure try.
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI like that you chose red/pink rather than purple.
Has anyone who has made this block stuffed their grapes/cherries?
Very pretty colors! I love you mixed them up.
ReplyDeleteThe overlapping of the cherries just adds to the charm IMHO :o)
ReplyDeleteThe sizes on mine also vary & they overlap too
While I personally did not stuff them, by the time the edges are gathered & then turned under you have a slightly raised effect
Congratulations on a great job on this time consuming block!
I like it a lot and the variety of fabrics gives it a lot of interest.
ReplyDeleteI love your red cherries/grapes. Mine were also bigger so I did the curly-ques but none of the stems. I don't miss them at all. You have a lovely block.
ReplyDeleteI hope your daughter's wedding is beautiful!
LOVE your block. I'm still stitching down the vines, geez! I have my circles all prepped. I'm only going to do the one curly q and then let my circles float like yours. A little overlapping is planned on my block too.
ReplyDeleteI love it, very pretty!!
