On our CQ for Newbies group, a round robin started that is for color study. The first color to be worked is green, so the participants were to piece a block using all green, then send them around to be embellished all in shades of green. This seemed rather hard to me, so I didn't join, but then got to thinking it might be a good exercise. So I did my own version. It was so much fun that I volunteered to work on a block for another stitcher, and this is it. It belongs to Carole in Arizona; she's in the official round robin, so this is her second block. That green and white thing is a vintage doily that I cut up; too bad I didn't think to take a picture before I started cutting. It had 4 round linen pieces that were joined by variegated green crocheted thread. I was able to use the rounded edges and the centerpiece. Carole is a professional crocheter, so I thought she'd appreciate the vintage doily.
Here's the full block finished.
And a close up of the spider web and green flower beads.
And here's Zack getting into my fabric.

Hi Janet,
Lucky Carole! The block looks great; I especially like the spider and web.

Lovely work hon, but how come you did not join in? You have to take that step into the unknown darlin..only way to get out of that comfort zone...
