I really enjoyed working on this block, and I'm very happy with how it came together. I was nervous because of all of the curves and ovals (because the oval shapes meant I couldn't use Perfect Circles!). I ended up doing needleturn on just about everything (except for the one little yellow circle on the front wheel, where I did use the Perfect Circles technique). Basting well and just taking it slow and steady allowed for some smooth needleturning. I did cheat a little and embroidered the black circles on the wheels instead of appliqueing them, because they were just too tiny.
If I didn't think my cat would eat them, I would add some hanging ribbons up on those handlebars. How cute would that be? But yeah. I would definitely be tempting fate there.
Progress so far:
Only one block to go!
Are you kidding? Those black circles were supposed to be appliqued? That would be impossible. You have just done a beautiful job with this quilt. The car block is my favorite : )
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anne! appliquing the circles would've been impossible. I love how this is coming together
ReplyDeleteWay to go! Nothing wrong with embroidery! Works for me when I have such tiny things too.
ReplyDeleteYou did such a great job. And you are almost finished!
WOW!!! That turned out great. It is really looking fantastic, you are almost there.
