Again the Bernina Shop in Las Cruces, Be Sew Creative, offered a block of the month class that was taught by Marsha Trueax, and advanced my machine embroidery skills.
Just the year prior I received the Bernina 780 from my husband Dave, and this quilt took its embroidery features to the test. I enjoyed the class, making all the blocks, and trying out the embroidery stitches.
This quilt is the second Block of the Month embroidery quilt and I can see the progress I have made since my first one in 2014, Orange Sherbert with Other Flavors.
The blocks are set on an indigo colored batik fabric, which gives the quilt a denim-casual feel. All the fabric scraps were used in the back and created a complementary modern design.
