ICQC 105, Task 5

I completed another ribbon embroidery assignment last night.  From the front, it looks ok.  The backside of my work is a mess!  I would like to get neater because it is difficult to get a needle though the ribbon nest on the back of my work.  The harder it is to pull the needle through the fabric, the more the ribbon in my needle abrades.   I am using short lengths, which helps but doesn't entirely solve my issues.  I am going to look for a sharp needle with a bigger eye.

Yesterday I also finished piecing the inside of Voila Fish and ordered fabric for the border. This is a quick quilt that looks more complicated than it really is.  The whole thing is pieced in rows, not on point.  I could have done some more trimming to make my points better, but they are ok.  I was not happy with the turquoise fabric (Quilting Treasures Color Blend Seafoam) because it frayed, and frayed, and frayed.
