What beautiful blocks-I love hand embroidery. Can't wait to see it finished and quilted.

I also like the simplicity of a simple binding. Lovely work.

You have embroidered such lovely baskets. I'd set them on point so they were up right and make the setting triangles to go with them. I'd put a very narrow sashing in between them and bind it with the same color as the sashing.I use a pastel that was in the baskets but first, I'd sit back and enjoy their beauty for a few days, then decide what to do.

I love the blocks. I like the idea of setting them on point as well. It would show off your beautiful embroidery!

The blocks will look great set on point & needs a small sashing to show off each basket...my thoughts anyway....They are lovely.

I would also consider setting them on point, so the baskets are going all in one direction. Lovely work!!
Yes, definitely set them "on Point" then the baskets would be up right. And audition different colors for the block between them. Let us see when you finish it.

If I had done those blocks, I would set them on point and use spacer blocks , quilt a basket pattern in the blank blocks and make it big enough for my bed! The blocks are beautiful, and you have done a wonderful job on them. It could be an heirloom for those who live long after you are gone many years from now. I love embroidered blocks and have some to put together, so I hope to see what you do with this one. Whatever you do, good luck and enjoy it! Blessings.
