You mean you hand embroidered the design on the 'back'. You had to have a quilt frame to hold the quilt. Is there tutorials on how to do this embroidery, because all I do is tie the quilt and than sew along side the blocks through the three pieces and that comes up with a squared off or whatever design on the backside. Of course, my quilts are family gifts so whatever I do has to do .... for lack of room to have a huge quilting frame here.
The quilt is a lovely quilt. I done a few quilts for an order from old dresses and blouses that a guy had stored and wanted to do something with as they were his mother's clothes and it's a memory quilt.

I am now parked near the Sacramento River and where the Feather River come together. Just North of Nicoluas. I know where Elk Grove is located. Cold here this morning 45 degrees.
That is a beautiful top. Do you free motion quilt? I am hoping to take lessons at the "Sew Sew Shop" in Marysville.

Sew Sew is on D St. It has been there for over 45 years. They have classes on knitting, crochet, sewing and of course quilting.
Really great paper piecing class I took several years ago. A sitting room where you can bring a project, meet with others and receive assistance if you want. Or just a place to visit.
Our son put in a full hookup spot for us here when he built his home 9 years ago. It is really nice for mom and dad to come and visit. We are full time travelers, try to come at least once a year.
