Red and white embroidered blocks

 Lookee here....I have a finish. hahahaha

This is my sister's quilt. Took me a couple weeks to quilt it for her. I'm slow these days. I used red and white thread to match and some days my eyes could see better than others. 

If you notice, only the 2 center blocks have a dark red border all around it. and the top and bottom borders are narrower than the sides. she was making it to fit her bed.

These are the old fashioned embroidery blocks that are about 16" square. She embroidered them with 2 different reds.....then sewed red fabric over the white fabric around the star.

And even added little squares of red fabric around the edges. I quilted on the very edge of all her pieces to hold them down better.  The quilting really does not show at all....not even hardly in person.

The back is darker than this photo, but it's the best i could do. you can sorta see the white quilting here around the star and around the little blocks in the border.

I will take it to her Thursday and she will do the binding on it. 

Red and white Glide thread for the top and So Fine for the bobbin.
