Maria's Crazy Quilting

I received an email from Maria this morning with a photo of Block 9 from the Color & Composition class that I was teaching:

Just gorgeous!  Check out how shiny Maria's moon is! 

Maria was also kind enough to send me a photo of her quilt.  It isn't finished yet, but she has the blocks put together:

Be sure to look closely at the embroidery on the border!  Stunning!  Maria, I hope that you will send me another photo when your quilt is completed!  I can't wait to see the rest of the embroidery!
