I then sewed and flipped the pretty fabric like someone else spoke of doing. I liked the result then when the block was all together I went back and did my decorative stitching. My first project was a bag. I got hooked on crazy scrap quilting with that bag but it is labor intensive. I'll attach a picture of the bag and block and the back side of the block..the bag is finished, the quilt isn't, yet! :>)
Good luck, keep sewing.

Randy's finished products have exactly the look I was talking about except that the cloth I saw was either silk, velvet, satin, or some kind of other fancy material. Colors were impressive too. It had a really glitsy look in addition to the embroidery.
Of course today's machines could easily do the embroidery--at least part of it.
