You sure change me mind over Sampler QTs. I thought they were unwanted blks & augly sp? blk. I had made up my mind to stay away from them. Now I need to start making plans for one. You did a wonderful job.Thanks for sharing Theresse

Thank you again. I have made the shams, just need to quilt and put on the prarie points on them. I think I have enough to also make a small throw pillow too.
Presently, I am working on Emily's Garden quilt from Connecting Threads. I am not sure I really care for the material as it seems to fray alot.

I love your sampler quilt. So pretty and well done.
Someone at one time posted a quilter who sang a song about making quilts. It was hillarious! She suggested you just go ahead and lop off those points and get it over with ...LOL!
I bought three books and read them over and over because of those crazy points. I was talking to a teacher at a local quilt shop some time ago and she in one moment of inspiration taught me to make them. It was a combination of things I was doing that all added up.

Hey RedGarnet.
What were the things your quilt shop told you? Love to hear.
I bought a small light that I attached to my machine and it has helped with accuracy. I didn't have enough light to see what I was sewing. I now sew slower and with more control to keep the 1/4 in. seam. I also try the scant 1/4"
