Slow Sunday Stitching

 

My hand stitching has been very slow. The hands are not cooperating so good these days. This is the Ella block I will be working on today. That orangey fabric seemed a tad bright and out of place on the wall with the others, but I am adding a bit more in those corner leaves. I will add more of this throughout the rest of the blocks somewhere. 


I found the rest of that piece of coral fabric between 2 Thiries fabrics for the 3030 Quilt. Not sure how it ended up there, except that I was prepping both at the same time and usually put things away quickly and carelessly. 

I found the missing petal yesterday when I swept the floor under my desk. 

Now to audition something dramatic or subtle for the center. I cannot just turn it under and reverse applique. I tried. 



I am linking with Kathy at slow-sunday-stitching.

Blessings,
Chris

    So glad you found the missing petal. I hate when they decide to play hide and seek like that. How about subtle like the light flower in the light coral - the beige one maybe? Good luck and happy stitching.

    Your blocks look very nice. Normally I don't find a missing piece of fabric until . . . 1. I cut a new piece or 2. I start a new block with different fabrics. Happy stitching!

    Oh such pretty blocks! I hate when I find the piece after I have already cut a new one! Such is life!

    Beautiful applique. You have more patience than me. Do you reckon that fabric just gets up and walks? I'm sure it does.

    Yay for missing fabric showing up! Both of these blocks are beauties. That brighter coral is going to look great in the mix with bits of it in other blocks, too. It plays nice with the petals block in a way that creates a look of depth.
