I found this to be a pretty challenging block. The seam ripper was out more than once! But I am already glad that I started this project, because it is giving me a chance to tweak my skills in a low-risk environment.
I made a very slight modification to the pattern by adding an angle to the stem. I think it gives him a slightly rakish look! I was up last night making more extensive modifications to most of the other blocks, and I designed the setting and border as well!
This is all because my sewing light burned out over the weekend, and I am waiting for the replacement bulb to arrive. So all those new hand sewing projects I showed you last week are on hold! No worries, though, I have plenty of other stuff to do. ;)
Very nice! I can see that it might be challenging. But you did an amazing job and it turned out great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hetty! That tie-dyed orange is still a little dubious, but I thought, I'm never going to find a better time to use it!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cute!!! ...now add LEDs ;)
ReplyDeleteI like the background fabric too.
Thanks! The moon and stars theme is a great fit for LEDs, actually. But...this one will be quilted.
DeleteI think the tie-dyed orange is great - fits well with the stars. Admittedly a pumpkin with that degree of mottling would be a risky addition to a meal - but I reckon it looks terrific.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Thanks, Jillian! I was sort of thinking of a "zombie" pumpkin at the time!
DeleteAlthough he does look a little too happy to be a zombie...
