Wow, Wow, wow!!! It is gorgeous!!!! Beautiful job!!
Give me ideas for when I make 5 GDs quilts when they graduate. Oldest in 4 yrs, next yr her sis, then 2 yrs later another GD, then 2 yrs later GD, 2 yrs later the baby. So I have a plateful, huh? God willing I still have my health & no arthur visits. I'm now working on oldest GS quilt blocks, graduates in 2 yrs, then next yr his bro, along with oldest GD. SO...... But guys are hard to do for, no pink, etc. But girls, there's no limit. The embroidered Sunbonnet Sues gives me an idea. My Mom has hand embroidered lots of small blocks, so I could include them in their quilts. I'm making a copy of yours to have as a reference...
Thanks so much for sharing!!!!

No wonder your wanted that quilt back! It is fabulous! You must have changed thread colors a million time. The detail shows how much you loved it!

I absolutely adore this quilt. The workmanship you have put into it is just awesome. I love all the embroidery techniques you have added. You must have an embroidery machine. Wonderful job on an amazing quilt.
