ABC Embroidered Quilt Block – Puppet
This puppet design is so cute, but my thread choice ended up being a little pale. I used an Anchor multi-colored floss (rainbow) that I thought would be perfect. I do like the effect, though, and plan to use multi-colored floss on the clown and the jack-in-the-box as well. The doll is in the hoop now and she is pretty light too (a variegated pink). I’m wondering if all the blocks are going to look good together. Although I haven’t chosen a quilt pattern, I’m thinking of using the smallest size of my 1930’s triangle swatches to make pieced sashing between the blocks. Hopefully the scrappy sashing will sort of tie the whole thing together.
