[ATTACH=CONFIG]615071[/ATTACH]The redwork embroidery was finished quite a number of years ago, and was set into this patchwork recently.

Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing.

That is so pretty!

Love it! (Can't post just 'love it', so will say it again....Love it!)

What a beautiful way to set off the embroidery!

What a beautiful way to set off one embroidery piece. I love hand embroidery. Kudos to you for all those square in squares. That's my least favorite thing to piece. I always have to make it way too big to trim square.

great quilt

Looks beautiful! That's a great way to set the embroidery work into the quilt.

I love embroidery work, especially red work, in any quilt. The patience it takes sometimes, if done by hand, shows in the finished piece. This is a prime piece of art.

Love the quilt! Everything about it- embroidery, patchwork, quilting, even the red flange! Great job.

Just gorgeous!

Beautiful quilt and love how you presented that nice redwork.

Absolutely lovely!!! Do you mind sharing what size your blocks are?

Very pretty quilt and quilting.

The blocks were 6 1/4" unfinished. I cant find the magazine now, but there was an Irish quilt with this setting where the blocks were green. It had an Irish scene in the center, and that is where the idea to use it to frame the redwork came about.

Thanks! It is so lovely.....I think I want to give this a try!

I agree with everyone, its a treasure. Those blocks are a lot of work!

Love the rework and it fits beautifully with the background blocks!

I really like adding embroidery and quilting together to make a quilt, yours is lovely!

Wonderful quilt!! I absolutely love it.

What a wonderful finish...it is beautiful.

Such a beautiful quilt! I would love to make it but I’m concerned how small the pieces will be without the pattern to go by, but I just love it, love it!!

Very pretty! :)

Beautiful! You did a great job in choosing a block and fabrics to showcase your embroidery. :o

Just awesome......

Quilt and quilting are beautiful. BrendaK

Oh, i like that!

Striking quilt! I am also in live with your avatar.

Very pretty quilt---love the center embroidered piece.

Railroad - your embroidered center reminded me that I have those Redwork patterns from quite a few years ago. I many redwork squared all finished (but not these) and I just haven’t come up with a way to put them together that isn’t just the same old same old. Your quilt has given me some very good ideas which have never crossed my mind. I have 2 or 3 sets of 25 finished blocks each just waiting and waiting and waiting for me to come up with a brilliant setting idea. Your quilt is beautiful and thank you for a wonderful idea.

That is so cute. Great job with all of it.

II am so glad you are able to make use of this. I think I gave the magazine away where the Irish theme quilt was set this way. When I saw the picture I thought it would be a good way to use red instead of the green. It would work to make even one round fewer of the blocks, I think. I'll be waiting to see your work when it is finished.

Beautiful embroidery in a beautiful setting! Love all of your reds.

Great quilt and perfect patchwork to set it off.

Oh my, how big are the finished blocks. It is gorgeous!!

Love your quilt!

Cute as can bee! Beautiful embroidery complimented by the quilting.

Beautiful work.

Fab use of the quilt blocks, and all the shades of red give it a dynamic look. Excellent quilt.:thumbup:
