    Thank you all for the wonderful praises...first of all, this has been put away for 4 years, got it out the other day and sewed the blocks together, really need to finish it... the satin is sewn with 1/2" seam allowances, sewn directly onto foundation squares of cotton that has been prewashed.. I would take these when I did respite care in people's homes and work on them...I really like to embroider so it was a good way to pass the time....

    .....and this would be why quilting is considered art.....

    What an impressive amount of detail

    Not only is that beautiful work could you have picked a harder medium to quilt on? You did a marvelous job. Next the velvet one I suppose? I avoid satin and velvet ugh.. and here you surely did not avoid satin at all.

    actually, when I was 11 years old, my Grandmother let me help on a velvet quilt, and guess what...she used newspaper for the back, ripped it out after....Paper piecing, almost 50 years ago.. And yes, I am already saving velvet to make a velvet quilt...
