Hello Ladies ... am I inspired or what? I took some of my quilts to one of our local Fairs this weekend and guess what, the Grand Champion Quilt (not by me) was a sampler.
I've posted it here with my Fair results ......

I don't think the Grand is a FWS. Do you think DJ? or perhaps Civil War?
It was all machine quilted ... I couldn't get a good enough look to determine if it was QAYG or after the fact. The sashing was all black and the border a greenish/tan sort of colour. The realistic colour shows best in one of the other pics, where it shows in a corner.
I'm hoping to get a better/closer look at it when I pick my things up on Sunday.
And yes .... it's given me huge inspiration to get going on my FWS soon ... when I get my life back again! :)
