I had some of the redwork and cut the blocks. My mother embroidered 3 blocks (she had ALS and was losing use of her hands), my daughter embroidered 5 blocks and I embroidered 4 blocks. I put put them all together using the matching fabric in a red and white patchwork sashing. It was the last handwork my mom did and I treasure it. You just buy matching thread and stitch over the lines with a stem stitch or that's how we did it.
