Beautiful! I am working on a quilt for me, finally! What I would love to do someday is embroider pictures of all the dogs I have owned and make it into a wall hanging. Don't have an embroidery machine.

Your quilt is beautiful. I don't have an embroidery sewing machine but here are some ideas since you asked.

Some ideas....

Birds and/or flowers would make nice quilts.

If someone likes sports maybe team mascots/logos for the league they like.

Snowflakes for winter quilt or christmas quilt.

Sea creatures.

Different types of Leaves- shades of green, or autumn colors.

I did a Hummel quilt that was embroidered for my mom. She went into a care facility and couldn't take her Hummels, that she collected, so I made it so she would have Hummels with her. She passed away in May and my dad has it hanging now.
