Love always block 4

Wow, this was a really intensive block! Those little stems combined with the teeny tiny berries.

I do love that vase, and I am really happy with the colour arrangement for the peonie roses, and will use the same format for all the ones in the borders, even if I use different fabrics.

I made the vase from 4 fabrics, utilising a stripe from a piece in the layer cake. Feeling very clever because it creates the illusion of being more complex than it actually is.

I am enjoying the applique, and improving my skills, although I have to agree that my freemotion machine embroidery skills are superior to my hand applique ones.
