Thought I'd share an autumn quilt I made for my folks last Christmas...came across the photos looking for something else...

30988What a beauty. That is a tremendous amount of gorgeous embroidery work. Your fabric choices go so well with the embroidery designs. You need to enter this into a quilt show or at least show it off at your local quilt guild or county fair.

Well, none is hand stitched...the quilt was constructed with blank blocks then all the quilting and embroidery was done once the quilt was put together...I am still not "sold" on the quilt as you go methods...so I make the traditional quilt top and then do the quilting and embroidery...

The acorn border is from Embroidery Library, some of the autumn blocks are from the autumn leaves collection from here on Cute...the fill in blocks are from many...the blanket stitch frame in the blocks is mine and the smaller acorns that frame the focus blocks are mine...
