My first sampler
[ATTACH=CONFIG]401373[/ATTACH]
Prairie Point border (pic is so wonky hanging off a fence). I had to tape some of the blocks with quilting tape because it took so long to make enough blocks for the California King size and I was afraid they would unravel. Some of the taped blocks hang on my workroom wall to remind me to do a better job. I looked for a quilt-the-quilt class locally with no luck so I had it long armed in a meandering stitch & she did wonderful! It has a cream-on-cream solid back which makes the cyan color prairie points stand out for summer linen use. I had fun doing the quilt as it inspired hubby to make a quilt frame, so now I have to make another, and another, and ...
Close ups...

Happy Quilting!

Thanks for the feedback! Now learning to quilt-the-quilt, almost done with a 5" square blocks twin size for Kevin & it is taking some time to quilt it. Hope I don't go blind. Please pray for me because Justin wants one, too! I really want Jenny Beyer's Moonglow quilt, but I have to learn so much before I begin & also need to save $ for the fabric. So many wish quilts, so little time. Do you ever have that feeling?
