This is the fourth unit of 6 blocks…when I had finished and looked at the new join I realized that everything that I had embroidered on it had been taken from some element that was already on the blocks…
 
At the top the Stem Stitch lines extend and reflet the lines that are in the fabric.
In the middle I carried the Fly Stitch Stamp edge around the corner…
…and because I liked that, I carried the Bullion Knots around the corner too, which makes it look more integrated.
On the lower seam I used the flower beads with detached chain stitch leaves that I decorated the hearts with.
I have left the last section of the join until I have joined the next row on.
I also added additional stamps I used an English, an Irish, a German and an Australian Stamp which covers most of the ancestry.
