    Those are such beautiful blocks and wool really does look so wonderful in them. I need to get out my blocks for the one I made last year, I need to finish a couple and then decided on embellishments.

    The black background makes the colours even more beautiful. Your stitching is perfect, and the pattern is very nice.
