I finished this a few days ago but my camera and my computer were not talking to each other but I think I have the problem resolved.... In a previous post I mentioned that in 4th position in a round robin rotation I like to look for elements in the 3 blocks before me.... I want my block to fit right in with the rest.
After laying out the blocks and studying them I concluded:
- All stitchers framed the image with gold braid of some sort.
- Both Kerry and Flora had couched some cording.
- Janet and Kerry had squared off their frames.
- Janet and Flora had used small spots of color
- Kerry and Janet had used lots of fancy seamwork
- Flora did a lot of couched scroll work
- Janet introduced buttons.
So I used some fancy seams, fancy braids, some cording, and framed the block. Janet added buttons which I thought were a nice touch so I echoed that in my block... The only thing I didn't do is spread color around.. The beaded holly berries were strong enough color spots for me... I'm very happy with the block... How do you think it fits with the rest???
Gerry, your block is very lovely, and it goes well with the other blocks.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!Miracle! Royal quilt!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks perfect with the previous blocks!
ReplyDeleteI love the block. The elaborate seam treatments with just the one scroll in one patch make it look very classy. It was a great way to tie in with the other blocks.

ReplyDeleteGerry, your block is beautiful. I love the way you used the button cluster to cover the trim ends. I agree, the holly berries were just the right touch of color!
ReplyDeleteAll the blocks are lovely and go together nicely.
