Block 6 - halfway

I’m halfway on block 6 for Karen’s class Embroider, Embellish, Create. 
First I attached the lace with French knots in cotton a broder.

Then I stitched diamond stitch with perle 5. I used masking tape to mark my stitches.

This is one of the 3 cutwork circles I made on this block. It’s stitched in cotton a broder. The background fabrics inside are temporary attached with tacking thread. It’s the same fabric I used here.

And this is how my block looks like right now.

Take a closer look at my block here.
