I finished the stitching on the Paint Chip challenge. I haven't taken an updated picture of it yet but hope to get the border on tonight and marked for quilting.
That stitching finish, allowed me to try and catch up a little bit with my Solstice block. A new one comes out tomorrow so I wanted to get last weeks block done. I decided instead of doing a 9 patch for the center, I would use my bee fabric for the whole background and flowers for the corner petals.
I decided to use black embroidery floss on the petals. You'll see where I have started stitching around the upper left petal. I think it will set off the petals nicely. I do, however, laugh every time I look at the block. The bees almost remind me of sheep with such large white wings on them. This is a good time to use the material for this is all I had of it. I had picked it up as a remnant for $!. Wasn't sure why I picked it up but it said buy me and I was weak that day. LOL. I guess it knew I could use it for this block.
Time for me to get to work so I'll stop here. I'll keep you updated.
I hope everybody has a great day and enjoy my cute picture of the day.
