Shirring from thrift-store pillow sham.
I salvaged the shirring and some fabric from a fancy, thrift-store pillow sham and used it to trim out this block... The block was from an old round robin (seams only) from 4-5 years ago.. I did a lot of fine tuning on it last summer and finally got it finished in style.. I'll hang it in the needlework shop... I think it turned out great. Some of the fancy pillow shams at the thrift store have lovely fabrics and trims..

this is so pretty
Your block is lovely. Isn't it fun when your stash of things finds the perfect home...just like they've been waiting for you to discover it.
Super idea and it looks so rich and beautiful!
Very elegant finish to an already beautiful block.
GORGEOUS!, Gerry!
