Broderie Blockbusters

I've completed another 4 broderie perse blocks for my Morrell quilt - all of these are from a piece of '1840's Birds and Basics' by Harriet Hargrave for P&B Textiles. These were done by machine. This time I tried a 100% Gutermann silk for the cream areas. I love using silk for hand needle-turn so thought I would give it a go on the machine.

Only need to do two more blocks, then I will have completed all the broderie perse for this quilt. Looking forward to that!
