Gorgeous work! I used to do a lot of heirloom sewing. In fact, making baby clothes or little smocked dresses, was my passion, before finding I loved quilting in 2019. This is such a beautiful piece to past down. Love all your handwork and your bullion roses. I once made (and I think it may be in an album of mine here on QB) a dedication gown and bonnet for my youngest daughter's children. I hand embroidered everything, used tatting and insertion lace, entredeux, etc. Teachers at school wanted me to bring it and show them when I finished. One teacher exclaimed, "You could put that on EBay and get $300 for it!" I told her I wouldn't take $300 for it, bc it cost me over $150 in supplies! That was 18 years ago. Absolutely love your blanket.
