The next to the last of the little Victoria Sampler ornaments / quilt blocks that I've been working on. This one got a border added so it's squared off to match the other blocks. It's basically a miniature band sampler and packs a lot into a space just three inches square! Stitches include standard cross over 2 threads (in #4 metallic, #12 perle cotton and 2 strands of embroidery floss), double running, outline/backstitch, zigzag stitch, french knots, sheaf stitch, Rhodes hearts and half Rhodes, upright cross, satin stitch. And beads.
I also set up the final block for the next round of the rotation. I need to get a jelly roll of subtle Christmas type fabric to border these. The blocks do vary a bit in size and are on two different ground fabrics (linen and Lugana evenweave). So they will benefit from some sashing / borders.
