This is my orange square in my second set of rainbow squares in my Slow Stitching project. I pinned little strips of fabric from my bag of orange scraps horizontally on my square and stitched vertically using running stitch in a variety of colours. The ends of these ones were quite a bit more uneven so I finished the longer ones off with a row of central stitching with a set of three stitches on the end. I chose some bright blue floss to stitch on my hand cut heart which is again quite bright and contrasts with my stitched background. I decided to echo the colours of the heart and couched two strands of yellow and green floss under the blue stitches. I did every second stitch which gives it a bit of a different look. Therese
