Such a lovely sampler ! :-D

Nice Work.

I love the layout! So often the small block prints are set individually with sashing. This is so much better.

beautiful

quiltingaz 09-24-2011 05:12 AM

That is beautiful. I have read all those books and just love them.

DeniseB 09-24-2011 05:12 AM

your quilt is lovely. I have the book, good idea about a block of the month idea. thanks for sharing.

Bonbonary 09-24-2011 05:13 AM

Wow. That is so impressive. I don't think I would have been brave enough to even try such a huge project. It turned out wonderful, and the label is a great idea with the block names.

ladypetite 09-24-2011 05:14 AM

That is a real beauty. What a great way to initiate into the more complex pattern blocks. Your daughter did a great job on the label.

grandma Janice 09-24-2011 05:25 AM

great quilt. I love those books too.

DianneK 09-24-2011 05:53 AM

Mariposa 09-24-2011 05:56 AM

What a fun quilt! You learned, and we get to see! Great job on this! :)

deanneellen 09-24-2011 06:08 AM

Love the quilt and the way you set the blocks. It's beautiful!

margie77072 09-24-2011 06:34 AM

It's a beautiful quilt and I love the back. I will remember your label idea when I do some samplers.

carolynjo 09-24-2011 07:07 AM

You did a fantastic job! You should be proud of yourself for trying such a complicated quilt. There will be no holding you back now! Go for it.

Nanaquilts44 09-24-2011 07:07 AM

Stunning! You did a great job on this.

SharonAnne 09-24-2011 07:09 AM

I'd be happy with the way it turned out, too. It's absolutely stunning!!! I'm a fan of Jennifer Chiaverini, too!

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.

You did indeed come up with a gorgeous sampler quilt and Sylvia should love it and cherish it. You did a great job. Pat yourself on the back.

RobertaMarie 09-24-2011 10:39 AM

You did a wonderful job. How nice that your DD is there to help with the computer. I am trying hard not to envy you ladies who have daughters. I think your quilt is lovely and you indeed earned your points in the classes. Good job. :)

I'll confess. I did not want to have to do all that sashing around each block.

gramajo 09-24-2011 05:20 PM

What a boost to my ego you all have given me :D Thank you so much for all of your very nice compliments.
