Mermaids

These blocks are applique, done with the embroidery machine, on April 27, 2013. i incorporated a lot of blues and greens for making the top.

It's harder to know how to set 10 blocks...so, 2 'blocks' are blues and greens from the stash. sadly, i still have some of these fabrics....3 years later.  sigh!!

The back is part of a fatback from another project....now all used up.

The panto is Whirlpool by Sharon Spingler

Top thread, as usual, was an aqua Glide; bobbin was So Fine Christmas green

After having to rip out the first foot of stitching and use a different thread, it went quickly. binding is the same fabric as the background of the embroidery blocks.

Wonder what's up next....hope it's fun.
