The border on the blocks are scraps left over from making my Triangle Tiles quilt. The center is muslin. I have a collection of old and new iron on embroidery transfers that I've been using for the centers. I've been using two strands of floss for the embroidery. I like to use variegated threads.
When I use up the rest of the scraps I'll probably make a different size of block to use up other thirties reproduction scraps.

Oh I like these! And I like using thirties reproduction scraps, especially in baby quilts.
Love your blocks! I’m partial to embroidery in quilt blocks
You are so clever to reuse your blocks,etc and turn them into these beauties. Such lovely embroidering too.
I love this type of old-timey looking quilt....so pretty
hugs, Julierose P.S. did you line the back of the embroideries before stitching?
I love the way you use your scraps in such an organised way to produce some great blocks.
So pretty, and it's always a good feeling to use up some of these old blocks. As your other reader says, it would make a gorgeous baby quilt. But if the older blocks are family heirlooms you will probably want to keep it!
I am loving the embroidery and the prints you are using with them. You have such an eye for vintage!
Beautiful embroidery, look at the daisies on that fancy skirt!
Amazing!
