Finished One for Joan plus a bonus one. Pooped around with these all day trying to get the embroidery just right. Decided to have my sea life hiding on this block, you have to look closely to see the jelly fish, baby dolphins and starfish

Stealthy marine life Love it, Terri I'm so glad to see you able to use your embroidery machine this time around very fun stuff.
So ever have one of those moments when you get a block all planned out lay out the pieces do the hand work then go to put it together and wonder to yourself why you thought a 14 inch block was a good idea? seriously I have no excuses. So I used as many of the pieces as I could and made a small version of my original plan and came up with this. [ATTACH=CONFIG]559167[/ATTACH]
I like it it's pretty but I was afraid it didn't showcase her fabric and I had mmmmmmm several diamonds left over so I made this one too . [ATTACH=CONFIG]559168[/ATTACH]
Then came Janice's awesome floral I knew it had ti be a grandmothers fan so I made the most traditional version of one on the perfectly matched creamy background and it just felt bland. So I added some decorative stitching on the blades.......[ATTACH=CONFIG]559169[/ATTACH]
ya I don't think I improved it at all either yes this possibly a case of just too much so I tried again this time going less traditional more pop and I like it much better. [ATTACH=CONFIG]559170[/ATTACH]
I hope both of you can use both blocks.

Billi, all 4 blocks are great.
i should mention before I embroidered on anyone's block I did check with them first. Billi for some reason this swap just called out for a few blocks to be embroidered. Only have 2 blocks left and they will also be embroidered. Not sure if I have time to do them before I leave but if not no stress I will do them when I get back to home base. Here so rarely home base is more appropriate then home
Ibex this was a very fun block to make, loved all the pretty colors and the block went together perfectly.
