Thats a really good idea. Then I wouldn't have to make such a large quilt. She would probably want to display it over the back of her sofa or something anyway rather than using it as a bed quilt. She has all King beds in her house. It will be a challenge to get the names all in, there are 25 of us counting our kids and their kids...big family.

i like the idear of using the sashing strips for the names --alternate the blocks with colour /small floral fabric --the sashing a plain colour to highlight the letters-------nice designs

Those designs are beautiful. I think a square in a square block with the inner square with the embroidered name would look good and use colors from the flowers as the outer part of the block. Looking forward to seeing it when finished whatever you decide to do.
