I have just finished a Fisherman Fred and Sunbonnet Sue quilt with 72 blocks - each one different. Most squares have more than 30,000 stitches - therefore it is $30.00 per square. It took me three months of embroidery and I'm sure my great granddaughters will enjoy it also.

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.

No by machine - but most took 3 to 4 hours to embroidery - as many as 30 thread changes. I love doing this stuff so want ideas of other quilters.

Beautiful, I too do ME, but certainly not as much as that! That is definitely a blue ribbon winner!
