That is so beautiful, and it has soooo much work in it you must be very proud of it. I would be.
I do machine embroidery also. But I haven't had the nerve to do a quilt yet. But I did buy a pattern from Cactus Shak Embroiidery called "Vintage Western" by Betty White that is embroidered on your block then you slide your batting and backing under your embroidery and it does echo quilting around the embroidery. It's a quilt as you go. you might want to check them out. |

I have enough squares left to make a runner for my dresser. Not selling this one. Is there anyone else that makes this type of quilt - I would like to hear what designs you use.

Love it!

I love it. Where did you get the designs?
|
I can't even imagine what all that thread cost. I doubt that you could get back the supply cost plus the labor cost. I can see why you are keeping it for yourself. It's a beaut.

great job. I am glad we are making things for us as well as for others. So times we just focus on others and forget about us.. We like quilts too.

Don't do much machine embroidery, but love Sunbonnet Sue. Your quilt is beautiful and something to be very proud of. You did a super job! Thanks for sharing.
