Cream/White CQ - Making Progress!
Block 3 of my Cream/White CQ is nearly complete! I've been working on it in spare moments and love this stage when it's all coming together!
In the upper left corner, I added a crocheted medallion, created by the Aunt of my Uncle Jake, who was a missionary to Persia probably a hundred years ago. I added beads and a vintage pearl to it.
In the lower left corner, I added a fern frond and a "fiddlehead" in Palestrina Stitch. It's so easy to do and I love the effect!
The lower right corner is the last area to finish. Here I'm adding a branch of apple blossoms and a little bird. The bird is stitched on felt a la Gerry Kreuger. I'll stitch the beak and eye once it is stitched down!
Here are all 4 blocks as they stand right now. I keep debating if I'm going to add a narrow border in-between the blocks or just stitch all 4 blocks directly together. When I look at it this way, I'm thinking the borders might detract from the blocks.
So happy to see this one getting so close to completion!

Love these colors very much!....
I think I agree that the four blocks just sewn together without sashing would be the most effective. You could trail from one block to the next with something if you wanted.
Beautiful blocks.
