Encrusted Crazy Quilts


Some more small progress. Many people in this class have not only finished beautifully done, heavily stitched blocks, but have done multiple blocks. For every stitch I've left behind, I've torn out dozens. I should have followed Sharon's layering instructions--I can see the logic behind them now that I've worked with this block for a while. I used trellis stitch to raise a "wall" around the lime, buttonhole stitch in perle cotton on most of the other citrus shapes. I'm not at all sure where I will go from here, but the journey is fun, and it's been nice to slow down and sink into a project.
