Hello All
I just wanted to update you on the progress of the Ugly Block.This is the result of about 8 hours of work. Maybe another 20 and it might be presentable!
The gold and orange lace that you see are ones that I dyed with this project in mind. They are pretty intense in color. I am happy with the way the crow turned out, I just did him freehand as I went. I have some bright orange flowers with yellow centers to cover the white polka dots.
The SRE in the corner needs a little more filling out I think.
Next up some button flowers around the rooster and lots of beads and seam embellishments.
Back to the grind
Later,
Lauri

Great job! It's looking good!
ReplyDeleteI just love your crow and cornfield! I can't believe you didn't have the crow planned out stitch by stitch. The whole block looks so much better than before. This is actually going to be a great block when you are finished. Love the rooster in the floral part - wish I had one just like him, for the same fabric. LOL! I have a plan, though. =)
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! I love the 'ugly' block. I can't wait to see them all together!

The ugly block already looks wonderful like this Lauri! I love the little crow and the chicken and
ReplyDeletethe colors you added to it!
Wow! I love the little crow in the cornfield! He's so...Kansas! You really gave him a lot of character for his size. The Rooster and SRE flowers are beautiful, too. You're definitely winning in your battle with this block.
ReplyDeleteThis ugly duckling turns slowly into a swan LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat JOB Lauri.
I think you are doing a great job! Can't wait to see when you are finished.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all the so-called "ugly" blocks -- all of you are doing great jobs with these. Is the rooster appliqued on?
