I wanted to set mine on point. DD played with layout for me on EQ & this is how it ended up with 82 blocks on the front. I wanted a list of what blocks were placed where, so DD again came to the rescue designing for me & printing on Printed Treasures. The label, extra blocks & block layout page were used on the back.
great, great job. especially the layout. very ingenious.

Some of the blocks were a real challenge for me, but I learned so much & became a better quilter in the process. I never would have attempted the Sampler on my own. Choosing fabrics would have driven DD nuts listening to me tryin to decide :lol: . The blocks were given to us in order from easy to more difficult--a great way to learn & not get discouraged by the harder ones.

I've pretty happy with the way "I Envy Sylvia" turned out.

Now, I hope I can attach the pictures. If I can't, I'll have DD do it the next time she's over--probably next weekend.

:thumbup: Yeah, I did it--1st time posting a picture.
