i messed up the first time.

there's one big one. that's king. front, back (i missed some knots - never noticed before) LOL! corner embroideries??

two doubles. front, two corner embroideries ( i think)

the one with the tan corner and the lighter binding is the king. it's hard to see the embroidery. i don't know what order they'll appear in. for the knots and embroidery i used embroider twist to hold the weight. the sma;;er ones are wrapped bindings. the big one is bound separately. i hope they come up in order.

How beautiful. I remember those I never did make one but a lady that use to belong to our group many years ago made several she even made a crazy patch jacket using double knit. Her work was beautiful as is yours! I love your stitch on the labels... it's Lovely!
Great looking quilts ... Thanks for sharing!

Oh, I especially love the last one! How was the fabric to sew on?

the stitches kept popping as it was being handled because the stuff kept stretching. i didn't have a large throat sewing machine, so every time i tried to push it through the throat, it popped more. you can't top-stitch at all because it's too thick and stretchy. every needle i used wanted to skip stitches. i kept having to double back. it seemed endless. but i couldn't waste all that fabric.

thanks for the compliment.
