This is also part of the reason I love these fabrics with these patterns. You can really get some bright colors in the Japanese fabrics.bertiequiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10625340909452450436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438520712984321582.post-90377615930753129852010-09-01T08:10:46.078-04:002010-09-01T08:10:46.078-04:00The oriental fabrics are beautiful!!

As the Lollypop has many blocks, you can perhaps consider using a few different fabrics as the background? Also the Lollypop doesn't have a continuous border, which is a bonus in this case. I do that when I don't have enough background fabrics.<br />I did the same kind of thing years ago, I was using the rotary cutter to remove excess fabric from the edges prior to hand stitching the binding. Sure enough, I cut through the finished quilt, quilting and all. It wasn't salvageable!<br />You live and learn as they say!!

Your color placement is spot on! Your hand applique stitches are done with much skill and care.<br /><br />Never mind the slipped snips. We all have had similar mishaps.

These things happen. Keep on stitching! Your block is lovely. MicheleMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298955512618165796noreply@blogger.com
