This applique block is called oak leaves and acorns. I was a bit apprehensive about starting it, but due to good techniques it has really been a very enjoyable block to stitch. I also was able to try reverse applique with this block, which is something I have only tried once before.
Once this block is completed, I will start the final block of my red and green quilt. I want to design this final block my self including some new techniques that I have been dying to try.
Your oak leaves are turning out beautifully. It is always nice to feel like we have a new technique under our belts. Glad you found some slow stitching time on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteLooks challenging but beautiful!

That's ok, maybe this wasn't meant to be my pic still didn't show up right! Love your red and white quilt, the embroidery sets it off nicely.
DeleteThanks Carla for trying. And thanks for your words about my red and white quilt...it was a very fun journey!
