    Oh my those are just a pretty as can be. Perhaps the black is too large, I like the black but as Billi mentioned, random placement.

    They are just beautiful!!!

    What size are your blocks? Did you get these from Embromix.com? I have a bunch of their embroidery patterns and am going to do the exact same thing. I plan on putting a very small sashing in between then. Then was hoping to find a fabric with all the colors in them. I know that's backwards, but this gives me an excuse to go to the quilt stores that will be new to me in NY state. I love the ones you've done.

    I see them in a random placement or used in one of the modern quilt patterns with rectangles and circles where you would substitute the circles for your embroidered pattern will be fun to see what you do with them.

    the black is cut to fit in the embroidery hoop I'll be cutting it down. I have 1 more to stitch out then I'm off to the fabric store to find something for the sashing. Thank you everyone

    I don't get the point of setting these awesome and beautiful ROUND embroideries on point. They will look the same as in a regular horizontal setting, and the H setting is so much easier to put together. I also wouldn't use sashing, though you might try laying the blocks out over a blue fabric with just a bit of the blue showing to see how they would look with a sashing. They are fabulous just as they are.
