Another Row Quilted

I've finished quilting row 5 of Floral Triangles.

Another hexden flower. 

Someone suggested that I quilt along the seamline that divides the hexden pieces.

The problem is these flowers are very small so I'm actually stitching through fabric from the seam on the back of the flower. Another challenge is I didn't cut the background fabric out behind the flower so when I quilt these flowers, I'm actually stitching through 4 layers of fabric. My stitches are not very small but they work for me.

My favorite flower design, the circle flower.

I actually do like this hexden flower since I fussy cut it.

I guess that's the real problem, if I didn't fussy cut, the flower is rather blah.

Another fussy cut hexden.

My mind can be like a sieve. 

For some reason I was thinking there were 5 rows but I think that was how many rows there were on the original pattern. 

Anyway, row 5 was just finished. I rolled after taking the pictures, row 6 will be started this week, progress!

The embroidery on the Christmas block was finished this week. Floss is used quickly when using 3 strands.

I thought I had a lot of variegated thread but I used the last of what I had on this block! I have several skeins of dark red so that's what I used to finish this block. I don't think you can tell a difference.

I bought more variegated thread this week. Some of the blocks will be variegated, some will be completely dark red, need to reduce my embroidery thread stash!
