A Sampler Quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
I just completed this quilt this week after working on it for about 6 years. I used this as a travel quilt. I would cut out the pieces at home and take them to retreats or sew days at friends houses to sew. The size of this quilt is 64" x 80". The name "From my heart to your hands" by Lori Smith.

What a beautiful sampler. I love sampler quilts and I especially like them when different size blocks are used with no sashing. Yours shows that you took your time and you did a marvelous job.

Congratulations.....six years is a long time for such a beautiful quilt!!! I do like your idea of a traveling quilt. Think I will try it.....on a smaller scale :)

Very pretty quilt. The travel quilts do seem to take a while. I have one that is now in the hand quilting process. I may get it done in the next couple of years.

I second those emotions! It's a beauty! Aren't samplers fun to make? My 1st quilt was a sampler.

NennieRules 04-01-2012 12:37 AM

That is one beautiful quilt.
I don't ordinarily like Sampler Quilts - yours is lovely.

jillnjo 04-01-2012 04:40 AM

Almond-your sampler is so, so pretty! I especially like when they have different size blocks. I find it relaxing to make up a block to add to my growing stack of sampler squares. I don't even know how I'll eventually put it together, but it will be fun when I do!

catladyquilts 04-01-2012 07:55 AM

it is gorgeous, love the color combinations you have

oksewglad 04-01-2012 08:15 AM

Those colors are so luscious. The overall layout takes the "ordinary" out of a sampler quilt--a great design and whew it's done! G

nonnie60 04-01-2012 08:16 AM

Very nice, you did a great job. And lots of fun along the way.

DebraK 04-01-2012 09:51 AM
