Love your quilt and the embroidery/quilting. Just wondering how you joined your blocks....front and back. I can see that you would just join your blocks, but what about the backing???

The backing is just yardage sewn together. I think it was 3-4 yards for the back.

Oh! I think I know what you did. You created the entire quilt and then put each block/section..one at a time into your hoop to quilt it with your embroidery pattern?

Well, I am so glad to find out about this!!! I have an embroidery machine, too, and never even thought about this way of quilting!!! DUH!! I even bought a HQ 16 quilting machine last year to do my quilts. :)

I just used an elongated curve stitch on my Bernina. I lengthened the stitch. It's also called a serpentine stitch.

I want to embroidery designs on white fabric to use in the center of my squares for different quilts because I think the abudence of colored thread would really make the center stand out. I wasen't thinking of going through all three fabrics just the white,so you couldnt see the back.I have Christmas.baskets,sports,butterflys,animals,flower s,red work,and much more designs,but not sure how to start.Not sure of which stabilizer to use.I have paper,tare away,water soliable.No one here where I live does any embroidery.Im on my own. May some one could help me through the steps.I have a baby lock allure machine that does 5by7 area to do.Just send me info to keep in touch.Thanks Dawn
