My mom made these embroidery blocks 23 years ago. She asked me to finish them in a quilt for my grandbaby. But being that these were so old I didnt think they would hold up to being tossed around by a youngin. So for moms birthday, a few days ago this is what she got. Most of the reproduction 30's fabric I purchased from another board member McQuilter. Thanks for sharing your scraps! One mans trash is another mans treasure!

beautiful, thanks for sharing with us

Beautiful....her work and yours

beautiful!

Great quilt! Thanks for sharing. I love the 30's repro fabrics.

Your quilt is fabulous! I love your 30's fabrics with the embroidered blocks! I'll bet your Mother was thrilled with it.

How cutie! Great idea.

I'm glad your Mom is getting back her stitching! It would be too bad if the blocks were ruined by heavy infant use after all these years.
(Maybe Mom would add a note in her will leaving the quilt to the great-grandchild to enjoy later on. My MIL willed a king-sized quilt I made to DD.)

Beautiful quilt

What a sweet quilt!

Very beautiful. I wish I could have saw her face when you gave the quilt to her. I am sure she will cherish it. What a great daughter you are.

What a clever idea to use her blocks. I love 30's fabric and this is so pretty.

So pretty, you did a beautiful job! I love everythig about it, the embroideries, the fabrics, the quilting too! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I love the 30's fabrics and your quilt is awesome with your mom's blocks. What do you call the quilt blocks. In some places it looks like 4 patch and then?????
Great Job !!!

Its called Hugs and Kisses pattern. http://www.quiltpox.com/patterns/Hugs/

this is one of the prettiest quilts I have seen.

Love it!

Where did you get the embrordiary squares. Are they hand sewn or machine? I am going on a long car trip and would love to have some hand embrordiary squares to put into a quilt. Any ideas????

Wow I love the way that turned out you have created an heirloom for your kids even though you made it for mom. It was made by two generations of women and will be past down one day, make sure your children know its history maybe put a little about it on quilt label .This is a very special quilt.

Perfect!!! I bet she loved it!!! thanks for sharing

Love this quilt! So Beautiful!

I made a label with the date the embroidery was done and by who, and then my name and the date I made the quilt.

Mom made those embroidered blocks 23 years ago by hand, they were already printed on fabric all she had to do was embroider by hand. I suppose you could google vintage embrodery blocks.

Such a beautiful quilt. You both should be very proud of this. It is stunning.
