Woohoo! I'm on a roll! I finished piecing both Smee blocks last night.

Smee is a free pattern on
Fandom in Stitches. As you can tell from the pattern picture, Smee needs some embroidery to finish him off.

Also, since I'm using a white on white background, not the blue, like in the pattern picture, and Smee has white whiskers, I needed to add some embroidery to mark the different 'whites'. I added some gray around his whiskers with embroidery. I also added his mouth, nose and ear embroidery.

Here are the 2 blocks next to each other, one finished, one still needs the embroidery.

As this posts, I'm working on the 2nd block's embroidery, and should be done later today.
There were 124 pieces of fabric in each Smee block. Of course I pieced him on a hand crank sewing machine.

After the embroidery is done on the 2nd Smee, there is just one more block to finish, Peter Pan himself. I just need to finish his eyes, then I can put him together.
Wow, you are cranking right along:) Blocks look good. Such patience you have.
