Probably won't do any embroidery on them, but I've got plenty of trims, beads, buttons, and other assorted items that I can use to embellish them.
Still trying to figure out what to add next, but this is one that I do want to finish at some point. Guess I need to do some searching online to see if I can find some ideas. Any one got any good ideas of where to look for something more along the lines of motifs vs just seam treatments?
I have laces, trims, beads and I'm not sure what all that also came with the kit. The kit was put together by another quilting friend of mine.
The blocks have been made for years w/o me working any more on them. I think part of the problem is that I don't normally work with pastel colors so that makes it really hard for me........
At this point I have no idea what I'm going to do with them....I do know I won't be making more blocks tho to go with them even tho I have more of the fabrics.....lol.
Gratitudes:
1. For having plenty of projects to work on so I can't claim to be bored.....lol.
2. For knowing who provides all things in spite of how it looks after not getting paid for 4 weeks.

You don't have to use pastel thread on the pastel blocks. Use something more vibrant - it will be fine. Use variegated, it will be fine. As far as places to look for motifs, try these:
Needle's Eye Stories
Super Mom No Cape - put embroidery in the search box and start scrolling backward to come to dozens of posts showing embroidery motifs you can download.
Green Spiral Herbs Then also search for more crazy quilt motifs - Betty Pillsbury's seldom used blog.
I thought you had Linda Causee's book?
An Encyclopedia of Crazy Quilt Stitches and Motifs Paperback – February 1, 1997
Put small embroidery motifs in dogpile.com, and some good ones come up, too. Or look on pinterest if you want a difficult maze.
