What a darling quilt you two made. Hopefully, it won't be washed too often.

What kind of batting did you use? I like to embroider blocks and so do quilting around them. I make sure I get batting that allows quilting 8 to 10 inches apart. So far, the quilts have survived and not had the batting bunch up. Granted they are not washed more than 3 to 4 times a year, but they range in age from 3 to 30 years and are doing well.

Very well done!!

If you're not sure about the batting/washing, you can"trace" some of the images with a monofilament thread. It won't show and you'll know that the quilt will wear well.

Very pretty! You did an awesome job quilting it.

You did a great job quilting this and your MIL's aunt the embroidery. Depending on your batting, you should be fine but I think I would do what MaryKatherine suggests and use monofilament thread and go around the outside of the embroidered designs. This took a lot of work on everyones part and you want it to last.
