    Those are beautiful! For a wall hanging I would love to see those randomly "sprinkled" over the background fabric with smaller ones in between - like stars in the sky!

    Scatter them on a black or dark background. That is the only suggestions I have.
    They are gorgeous.

    They are just fantastic. I can see them on the black background in squares sewn side by side. They are truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

    Me too. Maybe I'm just clueless but how did you make these? They remind me "somewhat" of my grandmother's tatting. Please let me know - they are absolutely gorgeous. Amazing talent.

    they are machine embroidered kaleidascopes. I've had that patterns for a while and now I decided to make a wall hanging for my foyer. I've stitched out 10 of the 12 so far. I can't wait to sew them together to see what it looks like. I will post a picture. Thanks for the suggestions

    I think black squares and a pretty sashing in between would really make it show up. It looks really pretty. Sue
