I'm sure your Aunt will appreciate it so very much. She will be so pleased that you decided to quilt. I have an embroidery machine as well and thought about embroidering squares. Actually, it's probably a good thing that you are quilting very close. I have a handiquilter and I found that if I started a fairly large design, by the time I got the quilt half or three quarter rolled up, I didn't have the space to keep the design the same size.
