Daily Detail: CQJP Block 3
Since I have a number of photos in my blocks, it's been challenging to come up with unique and appropriate ways to attach them to the quilt. I relied on lace and trims initially. Here I've used ricrac couched with a zig-zag chain, then added a fly stitch and laisy daisy on the outer edges.
I love this photo of my Aunt Mae. She must have been very young here - in her 20's - because her hair turned gray at a very young age. She's quite attractive and was very intelligent. She never married and had a deep sense of duty to her family.

Daily Detail: Chains, Cretans, and Bullions
Looking back at several blocks that needed just a little something else:
Three rows of zig-zag chain stitch
Bullion and chain. Below, cretan and straight stitch.
