Here is my red square in my second set of rainbow squares. Again I chose some strips from my little stash of red fabrics and pinned them vertically on my square. Instead of long rows of running stitch I decided to secure all the edges of my strips with stab stitches with red floss. I added some star stitches (3 overlapping stab stitches) using yellow floss on the one on the right hand side and then added vertical running stitches in yellow on the red and white striped strip and then added french knots on the strip on the left hand side to finish off the background. My heart is hand cut from a piece of fabric which I stitched together from scraps using my sewing machine. I laid it over my background and stitched it into place using white floss. To finish off my square, I added a star in its middle with white floss. Therese
