With images that I crop from a larger photo I can leave additional background to give room on the image for the space the embroidery takes but some photos like the one on this block have no extra background so I choose a seam treatment that goes on only one side of the seam so as not to cramp the image more than necessay…Detached chain stitch with beads is a lovley one sided arrangement.
The image on this block is on the small side and little off centre which resulted in the pink patch being somewhat bigger than any other patch on the quilt, to bring it back into proportion I have chosen a pretty lace motif that covers half the patch.
This is the 15th finished block which is the half way point, 15 Blocks done and 15 Blocks to go.
