catching up on the Cqjp, at least bare with me while i try
I thought id give you a quick overview of the blocks first then get into details
so first layer is the nekked block

then your first layer of stitches, since I'm also using my blocks for the BJP and joyful embellishments each block is going to have a stitch theme.
he theme here is herringbone stitch for the base
Herringbone is a very versatile stitch that you can do all sorts of fun stuff with
here I finished it with beads and lazy daisies

then sequins and faux seed pearls
the butterfly is for the BJP and is fully beaded on felt to give it a bit more dimention
the motif here is stem stitch, leaf and flower beads
I finished this one with larger beads and lazy daisy
here the herringbone is large and small inverted with beads and lazy daisy
there are 2 other herringbone I left unfinished more for effect
