Blocks for Valentine's

The piecing of the Valentine blocks went quickly today!


The only thing I'll change for using the template in the future is to allow a larger seam allowance around the outside ~ another 1/2" at least, as I like a little extra room in case the stitching and embellishment pulls the block in.


I love the soft colors.


Looking forward to adding some silk ribbon embroidery as well as other embroidery to these blocks!


And I suspect there will be a few little birds added as well!


This gives an idea of how the blocks will go together!
