Just thought I'd follow up and share the finished quilt...the pictures as uploaded shows the back of the quilt first which is multi colored chevrons, just because my daughter loves chevrons. So the final result is 2-sided designed quilt.

I picked fabric colors for the front and that would bring out the colors of embroidery thread, which doesn't show up on these pictures very well. The orange fabric is a Kaffe Fassett fabric and it's gorgeous. I used it for the binding, which in these pictures I still need to finish doing. The green fabric is a 'stonehenge' like design fabric and is fun too to work with. The light fabric design has those little pin oak tree seedlings that fall off the trees and twirl as they fall to the ground. The design is shaped like a pinwheel too. The embroidery thread used also had a lot of pinks, purples, lavenders, and greens. The dark green border fabric had those same colors but it's hard to get an up close shot of it from these pics, but it really does go with the the other colors to make them pop.

The picture isn't very good but it did actually come out very nice. I used a stencil design to quilt in each of the pinwheel blocks. I did outline stitching around each of the embroidered designs to make them pop out off the fabric.

I think my daughter will be very pleased and will love knowing that it was made by her aunt and mom 28 years apart!
