I was following directions... but this time I wish that, I paid more attention to the directions. If so I would have realized that the chain pieces finish at about an inch and a half. Or that I could have constructed the blocks more log cabin type method, rather than what I'm doing. Slow, steady, slow, steady. There I go talking out loud again and trying to convince myself through this.
I have absolutely everything cut, and have 4 blocks finished. These 4 blocks make me nervous. Should I keep working at it if I don't like it? There is an awful lot of white in this. I could tea stain it. umm?? Should I add something to it? Maybe I just need the right inspiration, I bought the book Embroidery Companion, Classic designs for Modern Living, from Alicia Paulson at http://http//rosylittlethings.typepad.com/posie_gets_cozy/ Maybe the plain blocks just need something. Like this stencil that I bought years ago. Maybe it would make a great stencil for embroidery?
As of now, I'm undecided...either way it is far away from a completed project.

P.S if you respond to one of my posts would you prefer me to email you a response or just to reply by comments?
I have a real hard time working on something I don't like. But perhaps the embroidery is just the thing that would set if off!
