This is the round robin where the blocks represent the books in the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Leslie pieced her blocks with various wools and pieces of a vintage dresser scarf. I sketched in the emblem from the cover of The Fiery Cross, which is the 5th book in the series. Then I painted it using acrylic paints.

In order to make sure I don't get paint anywhere else on the block, I have this card stock "window" that I use.


And here is how I finished it off. I repeated the coral color of the flower in the vintage embroidery in the buttons, and the green in the glass leaves.
