This quilt throw was made to celebrate the birthday of a man who has an extensive lighthouse collection. The center block is a hand embroidered scene featuring a lighthouse that overlooks sailboats and sea gulls in the distance. Underneath this scene is the recipient's monogram, embroidered by machine.
In addition to the hand embroidery, this quilt is machine pieced, embroidered and quilted on high-loft polyester batting. See a close up of the center below:
