week 5 block for tiffany

not exactly a diamond block and not all that much green in it, but this certainly was a challenge and i hope tiffany likes it.

i came up with the design after browsing block templates online and i really should've paper pieced but was curious to see what would happen if i took another approach. well, let's just say it was interesting!

there are lots of imperfections in it but i have to admit, i'm surprised it came out at all! half way through it i thought i'd have to start over completely.

and since this is the last bit of one of my favorite fabrics (alexander henry toadstool) i thought it would be appropriate to really focus on the little mushrooms and went a little overboard with some handembroidery.

so yeah. not a very classic block, and also not a color combo i would normally choose, but i'm pleased with the way it came out.
