The applique of block 5 for my Hearts & Wreaths quilt.
I love the the scissors on this purple fabric!
First the embroidery is completed. I'm working on 4 blocks at a time so I embroidered all 4 of them. Then I appliqued the hearts on all 4 blocks. Then I auditioned the outside circle of leaves and took some off. I needed to add more dark leaves, otherwise the leaves all smeared together when viewed from a short distance.
The last time I posted about Hearts & Wreaths, someone asked me what size these blocks are. They will be trimmed before sewing together, the finished size is 16".
Here is more information Hearts & Wreaths.

It's amazing how many small pieces you're applying to a block that's only 6 inches, Gretchen!!!
I also do love the violet fabric with those sissors and the light blue/teal with pins. Beautiful block!!
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Your hearts and wreaths block is gorgeous! So many pretty fabrics in all those little leaves, and I love the soft yellow background.

I'm glad you've worked your way back to this project, Gretchen. LOVE it!!!
So beautiful, and such nice applique!
So, so lovely!
So pretty!
Beautiful applique! Love that scissor fabric too!
I love seeing all your different projects coming along. This one is gorgeous, so pretty.
Your wreath is so pretty, Gretchen. Love all those perfect little leaves in all those sweet prints. The scissor fabric is such fun.
I love watching this one! I think if I ever knock off 10 UFO's I might attempt something like this. Until then, I'll enjoy watching your's grow.
I really love the fabrics you are using in this block. Lovely and fresh looking!
This block is stunning, Gretchen. Such pretty fabrics playing happily together. Have a great week and happy quilting.
You have a wonderful view out that window! I'd be gazing out instead of getting my work done!

This is so pretty, Gretchen. Of course the scissors are adorable but every fabric is darling.
The crisp, bright prints make this block shine!
You picked the perfect background for this block - white would have been to stark in contrast. Absolutely love everything about this little block. Isn't it relaxing working on a small block like this? Makes the idea of making a lot of these much more palatable knowing how enjoyable it is. At least that's what I'm telling myself as I'm EPP a grandmothers flower garden all by hand...and I AM enjoying every tiny little stitch! Deb E
Oh my - that block is wonderful. Excellent job on that applique too.
I knew I definitely didn't want white background fabric. I think the applique goes reasonably fast. I did start a new EPP project last week but that isn't progressing very fast, it's a low priority project. I EPP'd a grandmother's flower garden quilt years ago, I really enjoyed it and I love my quilt. Happy stitching!
I cannot wait to see this top finished. All those little leaves just leave me gobsmacked. And all those different fabrics? Sigh.
Just beautiful!!! You do such lovely work!
Beautiful fabrics and colours.
So beautiful.
