    Izy,

    All the blocks were cut 20 inches and once finished cut to 18 inches then placed sashing and inserts. Not sure you could see well but it was placed on point. I used template and reposition each design on the 20 inch block.
    On many designs one design would take 72 minutes to stitch then you had to do three more. All this was done seperate so you have many hoopings to complete the block. The reason I did not use the mega hoop because I did not want to sit at the machine for several hours for it to stitch out. With the mega hoop you could have stitched a section of three designs at a time.

    That's a LOT of embroidery and I'd say it's beautifully done. Thanks for sharing the pics.
