Isn't she beautiful? Adding the borders really makes this block look good. The next block over is called Cary Grant.
Next up, finishing that Nordic snowman stocking!

Thanks, Glenis. I think it is one of my favorite blocks so far. Lots to go, though.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You are certainly zipping right along!
ReplyDeleteThis piece is lovely, Jane. I am truly enjoying watching each square unfold. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm fascinated by the difference your colours make. On the original, the N,S,E,W central "long-diamonds" are most prominent, but on yours it's the black edge and the squares outside it. I can see why you call them "wings"!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how much those diferences would stand-out if one could "meet" several of the different colourways in person instead of by photos - wouldn't that make an absorbing study!

Glenis, I love seeing the photos of different versions from the stitching group Sara Leigh posts occasionally. Each is different and beautiful. It is hard to pick a favorite!
ReplyDeleteColor really makes a difference in how the design works up. It is fascinating to watch, even just on my piece.
Thank you, Missy. You are very kind! Have fun in Columbus.
