Very elegant. The use of machine embroidery and then hand quilting is an excellent use of your array of skills.

Really lovely work!! Did you use a variegated thread on the embroidery?

My husband was very pleased with it so now I think I will try some pillow shams to match. I machine embroideries the plain squares and machined stitched the star blocks. Then hand quilted it. Kinda a proud of myself. 😊

Very, very nice. The largest quilt I've ever made is 120" x 108". It was quilted by the end of January and is still awaiting binding!
