I finished the embroidery for my first two blocks from Birdie Stitches from Little Miss Shabby a while ago but just added the Fandango patchwork borders:
I chose the floss while in Florida and I did not have the Fandango fabric with me (only a photo of a layer cake) so I was worried about it clashing.
I think it turned out okay. This was fun to stitch during the car ride from Florida to Texas.
Waiting for block three.....
