As you can see, I didn't accomplish much on this block yesterday. I did the Maidenhair Stitch on the left side of the poinsettia and added a few beads and that's about it.
This block seems to need alot of thought. One would think a Victorian style Christmas block would be easy but instead, I find myself staring it for long periods of time, trying to decide on what to do next.
I do know that the poinsettia needs to be toned down a bit. I will probably hand color it with oil pastels once the stitching is complete.
Hopefully, I'll have more to share tomorrow.

Pam, I like the poinsettia as it is, it makes a lovely contrast and a focus for the block.
