Vintage embroidery sew and flip quilt blocks
Jacquie, about a month ago I started a post showing my plan to use vintage embroidered pieces in a quilt. I am doing the sew and flip method, and the quilt will have a crazy quilt look, although at this time I don't plan to do crazy quilt type embellishments. The advantage as I see it in this style is that I can cut the embroidery focus pieces in irregular shapes. This project may take awhile, because I am making blocks as I find the embroidered items and I am trying to use vintage fabrics for the rest of the block.
Recently there was a discussion about hankies in quilts, and I imagine you could get some ideas from that.
Best wishes on your project -- you are lucky to have a stash of embroidery to start with!
