CHRISTMAS STRAWBERRIES, et al

 

My first Strawberry block is all quilted....

I echoed around the berry and then

did diagonal corners.  

Lots of texture...:)))

The red berry I quilted in dark red

and

the top little cap 

in a lighter green....

Next will be the upper and lower borders 

leading to the other two

berries...

**********************

AND

Dark Days' first two blocks

are all sewn together 

and quilted with various

simple stitches:

running stitch, whipped 

running stitch, little crosses,

whip stitching and some

blanket stitches...

{this looks so different from anything I've ever made...}

The radiating stitches  and the whip stitches all

around the pomegranates

are finished....

Here is what the back looks like:

In the top section you can see how it was joined...

[that long white strip]

The backing on the top log cabins 

was trimmed back evenly and

I turned the extra fabric from 

block one [which was quite wide]

 and folded the raw edge in 

and then did a simple

whip stitch  to hold it in place 

as K3N recommended...

I may add more stitching later on--

but for now I am resting until

next Wednesday when the 

next block info is aired.
