Heritage Quilt - Block 7

Block Number 7 of this quilt is finished.  It is quite a busy block with lots of different techniques used.  All of the designs was embroidered separately and then attached to the block.  The 0.5m braid used in the centre panel was home made as well using 10m crochet thread in total which were spun with the bobbin winder on top of the machine.
