I'm not going to talk too much about this block because it's too aggravating. This is block #2. I used different fabric for the white envelope and the gold manila envelope. The application was done differently, too.
I was happy enough until I scanned it and realized I'd missed stitching a section in the UAS logo. Yeah, and it was all pieced together already. I'm such an idiot!!!!!!! I never learn!!!!!!!! I ended up embroidering this section. You can totally tell the difference. We'll see if I can leave it alone. I'll probably embroider on top of the machine stitching I didn't miss tomorrow because I won't be able to leave it alone. (I don't want to machine it and have it show on the back side of the flap.) Such a shame!
The envelope turned out pretty well. The flap still flips open. The gold "envelope" is raw edge appliqued to a Dartmouth college application that I printed on photo fabric. It wasn't the way I wanted to do it, but I had to surrender.
I may or may not draft an UAS acceptance letter.
I'm just too aggravated.
The only good thing I can say is that by finishing the block, I have all the blocks for the first row and I can start piecing that part of the top.
I need a simple block after this.....
