I have finished Kay's first red and green quilt with embroidered blocks. it seems like it took forever. but i guess it was just because i was working on about a dozen things at a time....as usual. here is the front. i almost got all of the quilt in the picture...my picture taking seems to be getting worse.
These are the embroidered blocks i had to work with. they looked a bit plain until i put the red around it...that sparked it up a bit.
And this is the pieced block that i made to go with them. to me....the block sort of looks like the embroidered block...same kind of design. i only noticed that after i was finished. maybe that is why i chose it.
The border fabric was a pretty red and green floral.
Backing was muslin. i used a panto to quilt it. Tan Glide thread on the top and pale yellow Bottom Line in the bobbin.
I have 6 more of these same blocks to make another quilt with. i think i have an idea for the alternate blocks. should get that started next month.
Later
