Friendship Quilt block continued - Post 4

























Here is my Friendship Quilt block - all finished. This is a miniature BAQ block, the design area is 7" x 7". The original version of this block would have been at least double the size. For this block I have used some dimensional flowers, including two made out of silk wired ribbon (the yellowy-pink ones) and two layer ruched flowers (the russet ones). The bow in the middle is made of China silk and the buds are silk ribbon embroidery. I have used embroidery and beads to embellish the block.




In addition to this block, I also made a setting triangle:





Both of the blocks were quite fun to sew, but I have to say, I think there is limited mass market appeal for the wreath block as a miniature. It is really fiddly at that scale.
