Art of Crochet Squares 15 and 16

I'm coming to the end of the issues I have in the house. Here's the squares from issues 15 and 16. You can see the difference between the sailor blue and the lilac here. The motifs were stitched on after crocheting. I learned a new embroidery stitch-- chain stitch-- and the way it was explained was perfectly clear. I used it on the arms of the man motif. I followed the instructions on placement of the motif but it ended up higher than it should have been. The star on the lilac square is not in the middle either but I'll live with it. :)
