I haven't posted my progress here for a LONG time,  but I've been working it,  in the midst of many other projects.   I have one border,  the top with the horses nearly done,  but the blocks were all scattered.   A few days ago I decided to trim them up and assemble,  and just see how it would look.   Much brighter than I thought it would!  



Thanks to Liza for suggesting this black/white spot for the background,  after trying out several other choices.  I'm loving it and am now psyched to keep it going.  I was a little bogged down.

It's all machine done,  blind hem stitch with invisible thread,  with turned under edges.    The nice smooth shapes lend itself to this technique.  

I don't have a place to take a good photo so it's outside in BLINDING bright sunlight, on a little hill.  I'll do better once it's all done.    There really is a lot of contrast in it.

  1. Love it. Definitely on my list -- of course, I only have one lollypop block done -- so I don't need to get too far ahead of myself!
