I label it a wallhanging but it may end up as a book because now that it is roughly assembled and I look at it I cannot think of one plae in either house would it fit. It needs somewhere with a grey decor. I am enjoying doing it as always so who cares where it goes.
I have just finished putting together the 8 blocks and started doing some embroidery on them. I want to use a lot of lace and silk ribbon on it but still stay with the white and grey tones. I made this almost entirely out of cotton with the exception of some white and grey dupioni. One of the cotton fabric had a really nice round lace type design so I am doing all of that fabric with French knots, bullions and some raised work that I have been doing in Karen Ruane's classes. On the middle angel I used white cotton a broder and grey embr. thread plus both white and grey silk ribbon in the French knots and little roses.
As I finish embroidering each block I will show it here. Maybe by the time they are all done, 6 - 8x8 and 2 - 8 by 11 (to match the middle angel) I will know what to do with it.

I am entranced with your wall hanging/book. The greys with the white laces is pure bliss. I adore this color scheme but agree it needs a very special spot. Thank you for visiting and commenting. Creative Hearts are Happy Hearts...
This is gorgeous Freda - truly beautiful and elegant.
i find if I wait long enough, the ideas will come - you'll know where to hang it by the time it's completed... lovely work, as always!
Looks gorgeous and I love the grey with the white too, so elegant.
It would be lovely on a pink wall, a dark wall or any wall color where it can be the focal point. I think it would blend on a grey wall.
Such lovely work from your talented hands!
This is going to be fabulous! As everyone else has said, the grey and white is so very elegant!
I'm fascinated with the black/gray tones you're using. Reminds me of the Piecemaker's calendar one (which is still on my wanna-do list).
