Balkan Puzzle Block ...stitched.

I decided to use this test out the Madeira Lana Wool that I purchased a while ago.. I have used it for hand stitching, but not in the machine, so I thought I would give it a try.

Here is a close up of the centre square. Quite liking the texture this gives but you need to stitch slowly to stop any shredding and there were some messy bits on the back, but I probably need a different  needle and bobbin thread.

Took the time to finish this off with a proper binding.

**This is part of my own personal challenge to create and learn a bit more about traditional quilt blocks while adding my own twist, as described here. I am following the free Block of the Month classes on Craftsy as my guide
