Default Embroidered Parasol Ladies

Here is a quilt I pieced with embroidered ladies my aunt made. She found the pre-printed kit at a second hand store. She embroidered them then just put them away. When she saw the quilt I made for my mom she gave me these to do with as I wish. Well the blocks were kind of wonky so I squared them off then pieced them as you see. I sent it to Charisma for quilting....she did an AMAZING job on it. My aunt hasn`t seen it yet but I intend to gift it back to her...can`t wait to see her reaction....
