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.
