I love them both. 
each appeals to me in different ways. Am a happy gal. Thank you, Billi.
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.

I know what you mean by some of them just screamed for embroidery several of them were clammering to be appliquéd. I guess mostly they speak to us in a language we can understand.
