The Victorian Quilt Sampler

My mother told me to always practice a new technique before creating a new piece. So, before making a new Victorian Quilt as a keepsake for my new granddaughter, Jude Avery, I made the sampler quilt block for practice. It's 21"x21" and almost finished. I pieced it together with invisible thread first, then began stitching the embroidery. The hardest part for me is deciding which stitches to put where to show variety. I'll add close-ups (if my camera allows) so you can see more detail soon.
