I finally finished piecing this top. The blocks have leather applique pieces in the blocks. There was a LOT of embroidery on the blocks.
The red and black plaid sashing is sort of eye jarring, since it doesn't line up properly, but it is what it is. that stuff raveled like crazy.
Each block took over an hour to embroider. It put in little small stitches all over the piece before putting in the outline.
The black frame was a part of the embroidery process.
I like the designs, but these were time consuming. I am making it again...without the interior stitching ....and without the frame. just applique the piece and do the outline stitching. will show it when finished.

That's an amazing group of blocks. I can't imagine how you did it, even with the embroidery machine. How many needles did it go through? =)
