Lots of blocks in the design and borders. The most difficult task was piecing and sewing the squares so they lined up evenly to make the picture.

Too bad the picture doesn't show just how beautiful this is. I have made all of the blocks, just need to put together. I hope mine comes out as nice as yours. VERY GOOD JOB!!!

You did an amazing job on this! I've seen this embroidery pattern and wondered how well the sections would fit together once done, this definitely answers my question. I have the Serenity Prayer thats done the same way, now I'm excited to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
