What a beautiful "First Sampler"! You give me courage to try one sooner than I thought I might! I really like the colors you chose.

I agree with your choice for the binding. I have a question- did you strip piece the Spools block or did you have to set that block in??
I adore the old patterns and love hand-work also. But I don't know too many people who love doing the binding LOL :D

I constructed the Spool block with set in seams just because I was learning this skill. I really need to practice more.

This is one of the prettiest samplers I have seen in a long time. Great choice of colors. Keep up the good work!

I responded to your quilt when I first saw the lovely picture, then I started reading the remainder of the comments. Lo and behold, I discovered that you made it from my dear friend Michele's book! I am partial to her book and it was her influence many years ago that reintroduced me to quilting. We quilt together evey Wednesday with about 25 other gals who also have been greatly influenced by her. In my little corner of the world she has definitely furthered the craft of quilting! Glad to see that she also mentored you so well!
