Getting back to embellishing...

I knew this year would be busy, a new baby and a 3 year old, I decided to try not to start any major quilts this year and focus on completing some of my UFOs. I have been slowly working on hand quilting a double wedding ring, which does not make for very interesting blogging. But the next quilt on my list should prove to be a bit more stimulating. It is the Spring CQ.. I took a good look at my progress to date and I am not too sure if I like what is going on, but I will persevere. I sewed all of the blocks together and started adding some larger elements.

I found inspiration in some of the dimensional flowers Allison over at Allie's in Stitches has be creating for her Spring CQ. I used 2.5 inch ribbon for my flowers. I have a sprig on the right side of the quilt and I think I will balance that with one on the left.

The used tiger tape is to plan the placement of the embroidered stems.
