MILLENNIUM GARDEN BLOCK SEVEN

Another Millennium Garden block done.  This one turned out to be done in trial and error fashion.  At first I used a solid red for the front of the house.  It is from the same main line of fabric I am using.  I got it all stitched down and started the roof stitching.  Then I decided it was too strong of a red combination compared to the previous fabric combinations of the finished blocks I have done.  Off came the solid red & I used the diagonal plaid instead.  Then I already had leaves prepped in the green and tan diagonal plaid.  I stitched them on but did not like the look of the plaid on the busier background.  Plus I used the red and tan plaid for the front of the house and chimney.  And I did not like the shape of some of the leaves.  Off came the leaves.  I used several green prints for the leaves and altered the shape slightly on a couple of them.  I stitched them on last evening and am satisfied with the result.

I am working on another small piece which has an ice skater on a pond.  I will share a picture in a few days.  I have three patterns with ice skaters that I have had for quite some time.  Other projects always seem to take precedent.

Take time to sew today.  Every little bit adds up to a finished project before long.
