Wow! What a wonderful project. You should make a pattern book out of that one! I know I'd buy it.

I am a former bridal seamstress so some of the techniques are bridal and some are quilting and some I just made up as I went along. It was quite a chalenge to make this quilt. It took a long time, too.
There are two blocks that were just tucks that were stitched going different directions and an embroidery stitch was sewn on top of the stitching line. I just made up some things as I sewed.
Thank you for all the compliments.
