The first Bob square

My boys both love Bob the Builder. Here is the first block of a quilt for one of them. I am not sure when I will be finishing it, due to the fact that embroidering the squares takes a while and I'm not really motivated to do more than one in a sitting. This square is 6.5". I'm pleased with the outcome except for the fact that Bob has green hair. (Who would have thunk "dark olive" wasn't green?) I guess I will not only be looking at the color name, but the embroidery area when I get around to the next square.

Oh and I figured out part of the problem I was having with embroidering knits. I had combined bobbins from my sewing and embroidery machine thinking that they were similar enough to use interchangeably. I did notice that on end some were taller than others, but the diameter was the same so I didn't think much of it. When I started this block my thread kept jamming and the top thread was sucking down into the bobin case and wrapping around the bobbin. I was using the thicker bobbin at the time. I couldn't figure it out until the third try of untangling everything that possibly my machine didn't like this bobbin. I switched it out for a shorter bobbin and voila, perfect normal embroidery. I need to make a tiny little reminder lable for my machine which says "short bobbins only" as I am sure I will forget this little important factoid at some point in the future. In the picture below, the black one is the one that I started with, the white one is the one I had to use.
