I've just finished hand embroidering 12 small blocks (7 1/2") & I want to make this a larger quilt by adding additional blocks or some kind. The embroidery is sweet, small, old-fashioned girls in long dresses done crayons and then embroidered in pastels. Any suggestions? Of course, I'll add borders, too. I don't want to just make it a baby quilt. My 20 yr old granddaughter decided she wants it herself. :) Thanks.

Show us some of the squares you have, can get as better idea that way. Sounds as if they are pretty.

Pics would help us guide you in the right direction.

I would love to see pics of it.

please post some pictures of your blocks, as this group of quilters are so helpful. thanks

Pics would help, but while we wait what about a nine patch alternating the squares with the blocks you already have , or warm wishes using your blocks as the focus square ?

Pics would help. but easy nine patch or railroad squares would work. Or if you want more detail a simple star block done in pastels would work,

I made some simple quilts with embroidered squares. Some I alternated with 9 patch blocks, some I sashed with scrappy prints, some I sashed with all one color. None of them were hard to do.

I hate to admit this, but I don't know how to put pictures on the computer....Maybe you could direct me to info about that too. LOL
