This is my experiment with embroidery quilting. I downloaded a set of, I think, 12 celtic designs. I embroidered the designs on my sandwiched blocks and then did quilt as you go. I made it reversible. It isn't anything special. Just something I wanted to try.

I do not use stabilizer...the batting is sufficient for stabilizing the fabric.
I hooped the area I wanted to quilt and then just made sure there was enough "puddling" of the quilt for the embroidery part to move the hoop.
I used my embroidery machine to quilt the star pattern where the blocks meet. Then I used a programmed stitch in my sewing machine (and the walking foot) to do the quilting in the white strips.

Oh, so thats what you mean. Thanks a lot.
I like the reversible quilt with the celtic designs very much. As the designs are quite dense doesnt it get very stiff? And where do you all buy the designs?

You can get designs from nancysnotions.com, amazingdesigns.com , myembroideries.com, and many others. If you subscribe to Sew News, or some of the other sewing magazines, they always have ads for various embroidery websites. A lot of them now can be just downloaded to your computer.

Thanks for your pics. I've wanted to try this and have the designs, but have never seen it as a technique anyone used. I have a quilt with 5 inch sqs I think will be the perfect spot to try it. Were you satisfied with the back?
