When Pam's block arrived at my place there was not a lot of room left, but I knew from her previous posts that she wanted victoriana, so I took a two inch wide wired ribbon and sculted it to form the pen flourish above and held this down with seed beads. I then added a special button and real feathers from a craft store packet. It made me think of feather pens and also the encrusted beauty of a victorian hat adornment.
I loved using ribbon for embellishing and as shown in the picture below it can be scrunched and scattered overt a simple block and give it a look of elegance.
The above block was donated to Leslie for her Making Memories wedding quilt raffle. I used a lot of bridal type flowers and trims.
