Thanks, Alyx - I may need to incorporate more decorative stitching in some of the plainer blocks

When I saw your Octogonal block, I was really impressed with your ability to match striped fabric. It was perfect! It is only when I zoomed in that I realized that you had achieved this through embroidery! Beautifully executed! No doubt you will inspire many!

Did you draw a line to follow? It's so perfectly even!

Thanks - I did draw a line 2" from center square and then used the presser foot width for the other lines of stitching.
