Oh my gosh! This is just gorgeous! I've been working on some 'patriotic' embroidery. I've been on the lookout for quilt patterns that either have alternate blocks or large centers that could hold embroidery.
One thing that has me hung up though is that when I cut the fabric for the embroidery, it was a straight set square, not an on-point square so I'm not sure if I could frame them like you did. Maybe the squares I cut are big enough, but I kind-of doubt it.
Did you just cut the background large and trim a bunch? Or did you cut them on point to begin with (i.e. before you did the embroidery)?
