it seems you are getting a lot of responses about embroidering using your machine, is that what you are thinking of doing?
I don't have that option, however, I've done hand embroidery on quilts.
In two ways, one way is to piece my block, sandwich it with batting and embroider through that. It worked great b/c it quilted that area and you can later quilt through the other areas however you want.
The other way is to put a stabilizer on the back and hand embroidery. Then I piece my block. I haven't actually finished this one yet so I don't know if it works better or not yet, or how much quilting I'll have to do in the area.
Below is a pic of a block I did the embroidery through the batting as an example of what I mean.
There are so many options out there on how to do things!

"Quote" from original post," this may be a dumb question. I'm picturing an all white block quilt, maybe different color sashing and each block being embroidered and quilted around the perimeter of the quilt.
Would this work? I know technically it would, but do people actually use embroidery as the quilting?"
I think 1234Irene answered the question with all of her beautiful quilts!! As she has shown, you can just about do anything with embroidery..and I have read that there are designs that you can use to quilt as you go...

Thank you I will try that tomorrow as it is 7.20pm here and I will be going to bed at 8.30. I need to get my mailing done and it can take a while to read all of them and then come onto Quilting Board to see what other great information in told by my friends here.
