It was already mentioned about putting blocks in a picture frame. I have done that with drawn thread handerchiefs that my grandmother made and they turned out terrific--helps to preserve them. You could add material borders or colored matting. Recently I made two applique blocks and my son had them framed--has them in his bathroom (eagle and cracked liberty bell). They look great.

Ok I will take all these wonderful suggestions and I will be sure to post a picture of finished project. Everyone have a great week.

If it was me, I'd start by watching patterns that I like, and think about how I could convert it to use the embroidered blocks. Some ideas ... look for a pattern you like with a focus fabric. Then use your blocks as the focus fabric. Or make your own design by sashing the blocks, and mixing with other block patterns. Log Cabin blocks made in 1930's prints, the same size as your blocks could work really nice. |
