Congratulations! That is a gorgeous quilt! I love the patriotic feel to it (UK and USA). How long did it take for you to make it?

Congratulations, Dotty!

Dotty led a group of us in a fun sew-along for this sampler a couple of years ago. It was my first sampler. I loved working on the blocks, but I slowed to a crawl on the sashing part and am still working on putting mine together. Well done, Dotty!

Congratulations Dotty. I was just wondering if any one else had finished this sew along. So pleased to see your finish and WIN. Impressive piece of work.


Just as a little bit of encouragement, Linda. You do not need to make all of the blocks. I made a variation using fewer sampler blocks and in a different lay out repeating one of the blocks (48) to create an illusion of rows. It really is on-point. It is one of the examples in the book.

I love your choice of fabrics! Well deserved award. I'm happy you were able to post the photo. Did you stitch in the ditch for the quilting?
