I have learnt so much during the making of this sampler quilt...it has been a journey to remember :D

I started off making the blocks all by hand in the English paper piece style, then progressed to machine piecing, foundation piecing and applique. I have stitched in the ditch, echo quilted and free motioned!!

I made the templates for the swags and hearts border myself, as this quilt just evolved without any patterns to follow....phew!!!!!

Tonight we will sleep under it :-)

Heres a couple more close ups :D

last one :D

That is so beautiful.

OMG, it would have take me way more than two years to do that. You did a fabulous job. :) :) :)

Absolutely stunning! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I really feel quite happy AND sad somehow that it is finished :? :roll:

I am going to make two pillow shams to match it though, as I like to use two dress pillows so not quite finished yet with these fabrics :lol:

WOW!!! I'm sure it was well worth the wait.!!!! what a gorgeous gorgeous quilt!!! Well done girl!
