These are great! That first one gives me good ideas for a very similar quilt top I have that was my husband's. He helped embroider it when he was a kid. He died 6 years ago and I need to do something with it to finish it off. Thanks for sharing!! I love it!

I'm glad you finished up the embroidered squares and I love the purple/red quilt top! It's amazing.

Your Aunt did a very good job with the embroidery and so did you with putting it all together, a keepsake for sure.

I don't know why your Aunt Fran chose green for those animals but it seems to enhance their whimsical quality and somehow it really works. I too love red and purple together and your 10 minute block is quite pretty!
