Two more...

Decided to work on two of the more simplified blocks -
 The second one sure is a good example of my inexperience with applique.Tried a number of techniques on the little gold centers for the 6 small flowers and everything looked clumsy. Ended up doing a circle of french knots on each one instead. I need more patience when working with small pieces...
Better get moving on  more of the blocks now that the first of the border patterns has been downloaded!
Have a good week everyone and
Happy Stitching!

    I like your idea. I just completely skipped those little golden circles, but I think I'll go back and do that. Love this blog!
