These are some more of the blocks that were made from the pattern "Elizabeth I and Her Ladies" that was put on this blog earlier. The blocks were fun to make since they could be heavily embellished with embroidery, lace, and beads.
It also gave me a chance to use "non-quilting" fabrics like taffeta, silk, satin, and velvet. Each of the blocks is different - not just because of the fabrics, but also the various embroidery designs. Add in lace and beads and there is a totally different look and feel than modern patchwork quilts.
The pillow and wallhanging pictured were machine quilted by RLM in April 2002.
The quilt is #324 in my quilt scrapbooks. Because it was only brought out once to show off, it looked and felt new. I sold it in 2019.
