I had planned to do stitching with red thread on the black velvet seam but when I saw this trim I knew it was just the thing for I wanted some sparkle on the black. Red, black and white is my favorite color combination and I was finally getting to use it on a block. I checked with Sue first to be sure that she liked red. :O) Was wandering through Wal-Mart one day and ran across a bunch of pearl like little hearts so of course I had to purchase them. In fact I have run across a lot of pretty little hearts on my trips through the craft and fabric stores so now I have quite a large stash of them. Did not have a red heart so had to settle for a pink one on the tiny patch in this block. All the blocks that I have worked on so far have had a tiny block that was just perfect for my signature heart. On another stash shopping day I saw a package of charms that was all cats and just had to have this one since Sue is a lover of cats and this kitty needed a tag. Did not put in the center to look like a tag on the cat for did not want to cover any of the pretty embroidery done by Marya. The charm is attached in such a way that Sue can move it if she so desires.
This is the most precious block…I just love it.
Love the swag seam treatment! Unique and delicate.
How about filling in your white triangles with some hand painted venise appliques or more ribbon work.
your block is lovely
