Alice in Wonderland Redwork Quilt Block #2

Posted on April 25, 2010August 2, 2015 by Martha

I am really enjoying working on these redwork blocks. It’s challenging to get all the tiny details in each picture (especially the face, which I had to rip out several times just like in the previous block), but that’s what makes it interesting. Also, I like the way it’s looking with the darker thread.

This picture may be my favorite of the 12 different drawings in the coloring book.  Once again, most of the block was done in stem stitch, but the lettering on the marmalade and the spider webs were back stitched.  The picture for this block can be found in this previous post.

    I am doing some redwork with darker red floss, too. I picked it mainly because I am going to use some darker red fabric with it, but I do like the look. Your Alice is beautiful!

    The face is perfect!!! It looks wonderful! I like the dark red too. Do you think it is easier on your eyes when you are sewing? Some reds wipe me out…

    This is fantastic, Martha! You know me, I always have my favorite details… in this block I especially like the spiderwebs, the leaves and Alice’s face and hair. You have so much patience. I can imagine the face is very hard to get just right, but you have!
