FrenchKnot

I'm still limited to some hand sewing as I am unpacking boxes and finding homes for all the things that has to live with us in our new home. When I looked at this block my first thought for the eyes of the little dragonfly was a french knot and I'm pleased with how it turned out. feelingstitchy has a great tutorial on how to do this stitch if the diagram below doesn't help.
 
This diagram is from Wikipedia and it shows how the stitch is created.
 
I tried to keep the contrast from the previous blocks going with the red.

Have a Crafty Week.
