oooooo I love your Romance to Redwork its beautiful. I did one similiar to that in almost the same pattern and colors of snowmen. I didn't use the same pattern of the snowmen twice, it was fun and something I am really looking forward to doing more of. I made both of my grandchildren bear quilts one in a green and brown and the other in pink and brown, that were done up in the redwork blocks. It was so much fun. I love doing redwork for quilts because it gives me hours of things to do with my hands while sitting and watching TV with the hubby. They are like that you know, like to have you in the room, or I would bury myself in my sewing room each and every night. I am looking to do some more blocks real soon just havent' decided on a pattern yet.
Yes to answer your question I am sorry. You can do anything you want with the embroidery, in fact they are your quilts do anything you want period. Thats what I love about quilting.
