How big are the embroidary blocks around the center? Thank you in advance for any information you can share. Thank you for posting this masterpiece!

Thanks! The blocks surrounding the medallion were 12" square. I don't know what kind of embroidery machine was used. I know I'd never seen any embroidery like it and sure wish I could keep it!!

I LOVE the embroidery and the color of this quilt. I used a double batting (cotton bottom, Legacy Wool on top). I did this to create some extra loft behind the embroidery and I love how that makes the embroidery pop - almost like a 3d effect.

People continue to amaze me on how talented they are. Great work
