Crazily Patriotic

Well, Cathy sent this block out without a specific theme outside of it being made completely of old ties. The previous person added the patriotic cigar silk, and I picked that up for my work. This top picture is of the block after I worked on it.

This is the seam I did. The seams otherwise were heavily beaded, so I decided to balance it out some.

And here is the star I stitched for it. I think it came out pretty well.
