I will be looking forward to watching them develop into works of needle art. The light jade tones in the second block make me think oriental thoughts about that fan and the 'hills' surrounding it. It will be interesting to see what direction you take this in. It really might depend on the silkie you choose to add, that will add a lot to the 'story' of the block.<br /><br />Happy Stitching,<br /><br />Shari in ColoradoSharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06756180452191304667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778558989920649234.post-56559791016070568892009-12-22T18:12:09.415-05:002009-12-22T18:12:09.415-05:00hi dianne, I'm looking forward to seeing it in...hi dianne, I'm looking forward to seeing it in real, I'm sure the photo doesn't do it justice. I haven't put mine together yet, haven't even decided the colours, but this has given me some ideas, thanks so much for sharing.<br /><br />ArleneArlene Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15225398638294939827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778558989920649234.post-53975656501580313522009-12-21T22:37:06.198-05:002009-12-21T22:37:06.198-05:00Diane, I also love your BB&B block -- no I lo...Diane, I also love your BB&B block -- no I love them both!

Your BBB block is just WOW. Why don't you leave the tail of the fan un-done until we study framing techniques? Although it's aimed at silkies & cabochons, there's a possibility that some idea might spark you then! :-) Big hugs, CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765115495938525371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778558989920649234.post-31078610999988685882009-12-21T12:22:08.835-05:002009-12-21T12:22:08.835-05:00So you do, Janet!

All the other "b"s are fine though and it'll be fun dreaming them up.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02649543737183491722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778558989920649234.post-35245788738839322482009-12-21T10:47:37.912-05:002009-12-21T10:47:37.912-05:00Diane,

Sorry I shouted, but the colors and the fairies are so wonderful!
