    I have just finished a Fisherman Fred and Sunbonnet Sue quilt with 72 blocks - each one different. Most squares have more than 30,000 stitches - therefore it is $30.00 per square. It took me three months of embroidery and I'm sure my great granddaughters will enjoy it also.

    I have enough squares left to make a runner for my dresser. Not selling this one.

    Is there anyone else that makes this type of quilt - I would like to hear what designs you use.

    Oh wow! Very nice quilt! Is it hand embroidery?

    No by machine - but most took 3 to 4 hours to embroidery - as many as 30 thread changes. I love doing this stuff so want ideas of other quilters.

    Beautiful, I too do ME, but certainly not as much as that! That is definitely a blue ribbon winner!

    Do you own a serger? Is it necessary to own one?
