Sorry About Pics
OK - sorry about the size of the pics in my last post. I have never had a problem posting pics before. I will try one more time...[ATTACH=CONFIG]325154[/ATTACH]
I would like some opinions before I proceed. I will do the applique by machine (thumb problems - can't do hand work) and can't decide if I want to do satin stitch or blanket stitch. I am also torn between doing all the applique in one color thread (what color?????) or in varigated thread. The pic shows my block and the thread I am thinking about for the flower and one for the leaves. Help! All suggestions welcome - criticisms, not so much....
Thanks!

I don't have any experience with machine stitches but I like the idea of the blanket stitch-the block is called the primitive tulip so I think that'd look nice. I would use both threads how you have them laid out. Very pretty colors.

JeanieG.........Your Yellow Tulip block for the April 2012 BOM is really wonderful!! What a nice job you have done picking your color's & putting it together. I love it so much. The flowered print across the top is so cute. Thank you for sharing with all of us today!!

Very pretty block JeanieG, really Springy. Jeanine, that was a strip of fabric I've held onto 'for something'...when I decided to do that block, of course PINK is my color, and hummingbirds, and I thot, ah ha, so that's how that came about. Thanks for the comments....glad everyone likes the block..
