Hurrah!
I finished the last embroidered white square last night! I layed all the embroidered squares out on our dining room table, to figure out the specific order I want them all in. Below are pictures of all the squares, layed out in the order they will be in the quilt. Obviously in the quilt they will not be touching each other in the finished project.


Below are a few more pics, showing some of my newest embroidered squares, ones that I had not posted pictures of before. My very favorite of all the squares is the one with the blue basket of flowers, which will be the center square of the quilt.



Eric was very good about giving me his opinion over what order the squares should be in, and his advice was very helpful! We looked at balancing the colors I used in each square. For example, the top row had very little of the darker pink, so the next row needed to have some of the darker pink, thus, the pink poppies. I didnt have a lot of the lavendar, so I needed to spread out the pieces that have the lavendar in them.
I am so pleased I took the extra time to embroider the squares, they turned out great and I am so pleased!
The rest of the quilt top should not take too long to put together, I am really hoping to have it finished before we head to Virginia on Monday. I will post pictures as I get things farther along!
