I tried not to embroider into the seam area since I was concerned about it getting bulky at the seams.
All the embroidery was hand done. I tried to repeat colors and patterns to give a sense of continuity to the whole thing.
The tying was done with as small a stitch as possible to avoid it taking over against the embroidery. That's partly why I did so much tying - I did not want there to be stress on too few ties.
Thank you!

Someone asked when I started this quilt / how long did it take me.
I originally posted something here in February 2015. By then I had pieced a bunch of squares but had not started embroidering.
Normally I work on one quilt at a time and since we were doing a bunch of house improvements, I really could not work on a second quilt!
So maybe 18 months, start to finish?
Every evening until the 50 squares were done!
Everywhere I went, too - visiting family, the beach…
Thanks!
