    Default The most amazing quilt I have ever seen
    I saw this today and could not believe my eyes. A friend is binding it for a friend of hers. Please zoom in as close as you can so you can see that every flower and leaf. . yes, every flower, leaf, grape, etc. is RIBBON embroidery. I was just stunned! I understand it's for the friend's daughter and a lifetime of pictures are appliquéd on the back. Every square is a house such as you would find in a fairytale. Gasp, Gasp.
