Yes it is the Eleanore Burns Pioneer Sampler... I love her stuff and how she does them. I got hooked when I use to watch her on the PBS channel ages ago.... I ROTFL when she would say "Step on the GAS!"
I did 8 of the patches over 10 years ago and I just found them when I started to get my sewing room back together again. I did another patch so I have the 9. I don't have enough fabric to do all 12... so I will settle for 9. It's a practice quilt anyway... I want to do the machine quilting on this one.
The fabric I inherited from my mother. Her stash was amazing... I'll keep you all posted as I go along.
I'm going to do a very dark Navy for the back, but will quilt it with dark blue variegated thread. (Hope it comes out OK) I decided to do the yellow on for boarder... I'm not crazy about yellow either, but it looks real good next to the dark blue calico.
