An interesting discussion. A girl in our church choir gave me a bag containing embroidered blocks and told me to make a quilt. She is in her forties but has the intellect and manners of a 12 year, old if that. She didn't say where they came from etc. One of the male members of the choir lost his wife to cancer last year. At one point he brought in some needlework she had done that needed finishing. If those blocks were hers I am more than willing to do it. They where made from a kit and the fabric is almost sheer. I will have to back them with something. I will probably use an iron on stabilizer. It will make the embroidery more secure. I will attempt to use a fabric for the additional blocks that ends up the same weight as the stabilized embroidered blocks.
