Default hand-embroidered quilts

I like to embroider as much as I like to quilt. I've often thought of incorporating some of my hand-embroidery into a quilt, but since I've never seen it done here I'm wondering if anyone else does it, or if it is just too tricky.

Not tricky at all, I have made Winter Wonderland and Snowladies which have piecing and hand embroidery. I am currently working on another one.

​There are some lovely embroidered quilts on QB. Use the search box for the Winter Wonderland and Snowladies and several should come up.

My cousin uses embroidery in her quilts a lot. I don't have any pictures but here are some others. https://www.bing.com/shop?q=quilts+w...39E600F1D6D552

Embroidered blocks in quilts were very popular in the 1940's, too. Unfinished tops and blocks are still available (for sale) from that time frame. They're just not what's popular now.

Here's one I did, called Aunt Bea's Parlor. Hand embroidery, 1930's repro prints, and big stitch quilting with floss.
