His name is Sherman, and he was born in Sumter, SC, so I thought I was really on top of my game if I made it for him. So I have the whole thing bagged up, getting rid of it; in black and white mostly, if I remember correctly. PM me for price, etc.

Like you I PLAN a lot...spend all of my time doing planning.
I found a quote today and printed it out and stuck it on my kitchen cupboard...Maybe this will help me and you.

Your sampler is exquisite, I bet you have received so many compliments on it.

Wow that is such an awesome quilt, I agree it is fairly simple but not that quilting. I have never done quilting as such but admire it much. I just have a domestic machine and not sure if I am up to the challenge of my quilting and then some. However, I am considering. Bad part I don't have all of those reds. Thank you for the wonderful post.

So, I found this quilt that I really like because of all the brown fabrics and the pop of the red stars. Also, it looks fairly easy .... except for the quilting of course. Yikes! Love the quilting but could I do it? Very questionable for me but maybe not for you. So check it out. Just another one to add to your thought process but now you are probably over burdened with choices. Sorry!

Looks like Barbara Brackman is doing another CW sampler this year, focusing on the Underground RR.
