One Direction quilt project- Niall

Niall is the only member of One Direction who is not British. He is from Mullingar, Ireland. Because of that, I decided to add an Irish flag & the Union Jack to one of the blocks. I also added the 1D logo and one of Zayn's tattoos. For more on this block, check out one of my previous posts.

Fiona chose Niall & his blocks to be embroidered in DMC floss #904. It definitely reminds me of Ireland, even though it has been 15 years since I was there.

I've shared this block before as a work in progress. See it here. Below is the finished block.

Niall playing the guitar in embroidery

I think it came out great based on the image I created the pattern from. I didn't quite capture his quiff, but I like it just the same.

Kiss You lyrics sung by Niall

I think these are the funniest lyrics in the entire song. Again, I added a guitar for Niall, because I was not embroidering a chin. (Or drool, for that matter.)

Niall's name is complete- starting on Zayn

& for those of you who like to see the underside of embroidery...

Next up is the member I, personally, think has the best voice... Zayn!

Continuation of the One Direction project

Fiona has chosen the lyrics she wants to grace her One Direction quilt. &, so far, I have 3 completed & 1 in the works. She chose a favorite line sung by each one of the lads & I embroidered them in the same color I embroidered their portraits in.

I took the lyrics & wrote them out on graph paper using the occasional block capital letter & my own handwriting. I had thought of having Fiona write out the lyrics & embroider her handwriting, but after she thought about it, she decided that she didn't want to...

Lyrics graphed out to create patterns

What Makes You Beautiful

Above is one of Harry's lines from the quadruple platinum, Billboard top 4 single, "What Makes You Beautiful." I added a butterfly because, apparently, Harry recently got a butterfly tattoo.

Moments

 Zayn sings the bridge in the Ed Sheeran/ Si Hulbert penned song "Moments." Ed Sheeran is the Grammy nominated singer/songwriter of A-Team. I just added hearts & a leaf because leaves fall... &, honestly, I couldn't think of any other images.

Kiss You

 "Kiss You" is a playful song with a fun music video I have included below. Niall sings this amusing line. I added a guitar because Niall plays...

Over Again

I am currently working on Liam's line in another song penned by Ed Sheeran (along with Robert Conlon & Alexander Gowers) called "Over Again." I am adding an embroidered outline of Fiona's hand to this block.
