Carsey, yes, I hand stitched the embroidery, just as per the book. I haven't ever combined hand stitching and applique before, but when the app. is done, I am finding it really nice to bring it to life with the embroidery
To get a rectangle shape, I am thinking putting the blocks in a 5 x 7 configuration, with sashing and borders to bring it to twin size. The orphan 36th block will go into a pillow sham. We'll see how long I stick with this idea before I change my mind again! :-)
