Some Redwork design patterns come with block instructions. Look at the Crabapple Hill site for some ideas. http://www.crabapplehillstudio.com/

I found this upcoming Block of the month - A Patchwork Year - designed by Kathy Schmitz: http://store.quiltingbythebay.com/st...&Item_ID=14780
The blocks that set of the redwork are really cool.

My cheap embroidery machine only has a 4 in design but it worked for 6 in blocks.
Made a cute blue and white quilt for a baby boy. Did 9 patch for alternate blocks.
Got my designs for cute bears from Designs by JUJU.
My camera refuses to recognize my computer so no pictures.

Hey quilt n nan ... That is adorable!
I have set so many one color embroidery quilts and you can design some real original designs if you get creative with a print that has the color of your embroidery plus a companion color. Like red and aqua, or blue and yellow. It frees you up to have more than just a mono-tone quilt.
I have posted a few here if you want to search my posts for inspiration maybe?
