Circles with Tast Stitches - a Tast design challenge

Raised herringbone
sailors edge
straight stitch
chain stitch
detached chain stitch
French knots

I made a tiny quilt with appliqued circles on which
I stitched the proposed Tast stitches


Ok, raised herringbone was not proposed by Sharon
I noticed it too late

 
this circle is fixed with sailor edge stitches -
and embellished with
running stitches


here are finally the straight stitches with French knots in the middle of the flowers


I fixed the circle with herringbone stitches and
surrounded the little flowers with chain stitches


the French knots



fixed with chain stitches and detached chain

Tast stitches 56 and 57

 

Sailors stitch and sailors edge

 
 
 and which one is which one?
 
I like most the sailors edge which is on the bottom in green
(I can't do without green)
The leaf-like stitchings are the sailors stitches
also the terrible straight line on top - I covered the seam with it
