    Just got to the photos - these are beautiful....May I make a suggestion? Have you thought about adding sashing between these blocks? Like perhaps the dark green that appears in most of these squares? That would frame each of the blocks (squares) and (I believe) really set each off.

    You could add a 1 1/2 in strip to the right side of each block, except the final one in each row. When each row is then stitched together, you can add a 1 1/2 unfinished strip between each row as you are piecing the rows together. Then add the 1 1/2 inch unfinished strip to each side, and A 1 1/2 inch strip across the top and bottom.

    Whatever you decide, I am certain it will be FAB! Please post pics as you are progressing with piecing the quilt top. We all are very interested. :D

    Dee Dee, your work is exquisite (can't spell). Agree with Shorebird about putting sashing around them. A step further, get some material and make a quilt, see how it is done and learn the tips that you will need before you tackle your embroidery. You have a lot of talant and time involved in those pieces, they are wonderful :D
