After being done with the horses and tree, I counted the apples/fruit I wanted to insert in between all the leaves - 54 all together - and I remembered the tedious process for the few grapes block, so I cast all plans overboard, went into Ebay and auctioned 2000 mixed buttons of all colors and sizes, picked out 54 small ones of varying size and yellow to red color and sewed them on just now. I think it works really well and adds another splash of embellishment, color and shine to my blocks.
Now for that border....
Greetings from the Rhine,
