interesting quilting finishing

I am looking for help here on another quilt I am working on for Christmas. I
have an entire bolt of moire before the factory closed and will be using that.
I have many 10 inch moiresquares that I have done Redoute' floral embroidery on
--very detailed-- I wish to put them together now but wondering if there is a
more art and less boring way to do so besides the usual framing of them with
strips. Any ideas?

Crazy quilt them! Uneven sashing, with embroidery on the edges.

Would you consider putting the blocks together on point? They always
seem to me to be so much more interesting that way. It is no more
difficult, you just have to add the triangles for the edges; but that
isn't a problem really. If you want to do that, just ask if you need
help with the triangles.

I'm going way out on a limb here because I don't know what Redoute
embroidery is. You might try lots of things for your framing strips and see
if any of them please you - ribbon (silk, satin, velvet), braid, lace, etc.
Maybe the same one for every block. Maybe lots of different strips. Polly

Reverse appliqué. Cut a square of your frame fabric. Figure out a curvy,
baroque sort of outline that will frame your flowers. Trace it on the frame
square and appliqué in place.

No this is Barbara or Barbie , not our Babs who posts....
I like the on point idea but alas, I already did the embroidery so they will go
on straight this time...

Sorry Babs (the one and only)
Hope I didn't offend?
I thought it might be you because of the initials - I remembered your
other half was a 'D' and surname 'S'. Silly me - should have known it
wouldn't be that easy!!

Eleanor burns has an elongated hourglass sashing that creates a circular
look to the block that is great to focus on each individual block and give a
subtle secondary pattern. I have the instructions if you are interested.

Sorry if I caused confusion by posting. I have never said I was Babs. I am
Barbara or Barbie....
