First for me to make one like this. Made in about three weeks time, lots of hours spent on it.
I made this from cross stitched blocks oldest Granddaughter's other Grandma did. She can't sew a button on, so she selected me to make it for her oldest Daughter.

Love how the quilting adds to the cross stitching, I would love to see a picture of the back too. Both you and her grandmother have real talent.

That is so pretty! I have an embroidered block quilt done in peaches and greens,but was not sure how to quilt it to suit me-you have inspired me to try again.

mtnative 04-26-2011 04:10 PM

Stunning! Two great crafts coming together in such beauty.

Jingle 04-26-2011 04:26 PM

Thanks so much for all the nice compliments.
It took about 3 weeks, I did a quilt as you go. Back looks very good, quilting showed up on the back, it was a good grade of bleached muslin. I gave it back to her today, I forgot to take a pic of the back.
