stringing them together daisy style and tacking them down.
I cut a small circle of felt and tacked it down with that blue stamen stitch and then covered it with beads.
I added a few buttonhole stitch leaves to that vine and Voila!
Bare spot taken care of
Here's the block all done and mounted
When I mounted this I ended up having to remove a few beads as they had wandered to the backside, when I wrapped the edges over my template
I generally start out with a basic size in mind but this time I had to make it a tech smaller than the original
and so over-shot the edges, whups

| It fits perfectly on 2 sides not so much on the others |
This is what the backside looks like
Its the perfect use for all those political and advertising mailers you get a crapton of (actual scientific measurement, not to be confused with shiton)
Eventually I will do this with whatever is going to be the inside and the bottom of the box and maybe a top cover
I haven't decided yet
I will then glue all that together, sew up the sides then overlay that with piping of some kind of gimp or ribbon
