Contruction: Hand Piecing, Machine Piecing, Embroidery, The quiltmaker was presented with 45 blocks of two different initial sizes. She skillfully arranged them so that she used the smaller ones in units of 4 to make a full-size block or she added muslin to all sides to make a full-size block to achieve a total of 36 full-size blocks which she could arrange six by six to make a square quilt top. She then covered her seams with red floss herringbone stitch to add additional interest to the quilt top. She treated the edges the same. They were brought over twice from the front to the back and edgestitched very close to the fold by machine with very small stitches. The back, with the underside of the embroidery was left as is.
