My first sampler
[ATTACH=CONFIG]401373[/ATTACH]
Prairie Point border (pic is so wonky hanging off a fence). I had to tape some of the blocks with quilting tape because it took so long to make enough blocks for the California King size and I was afraid they would unravel. Some of the taped blocks hang on my workroom wall to remind me to do a better job. I looked for a quilt-the-quilt class locally with no luck so I had it long armed in a meandering stitch & she did wonderful! It has a cream-on-cream solid back which makes the cyan color prairie points stand out for summer linen use. I had fun doing the quilt as it inspired hubby to make a quilt frame, so now I have to make another, and another, and ...
Close ups...
[ATTACH=CONFIG]401375[/ATTACH]Eyes of March Block [ATTACH=CONFIG]401376[/ATTACH]Dove in the Window Block
[ATTACH=CONFIG]401377[/ATTACH]Arrowhead Block [ATTACH=CONFIG]401378[/ATTACH]Maltese Cross Block -
(my original design to use Mother's cotton skirt & blouse for our son's memory block)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]401379[/ATTACH]Amish Star Block (PA influence!)[ATTACH=CONFIG]401380[/ATTACH]Texas Rose Block [ATTACH=CONFIG]401387[/ATTACH]Left and Right Block (kind of 3D effect, using daughter's church clothes)
Now let's see if this all fits in this space!
Happy Quilting!

Thanks for the feedback! Now learning to quilt-the-quilt, almost done with a 5" square blocks twin size for Kevin & it is taking some time to quilt it. Hope I don't go blind. Please pray for me because Justin wants one, too! I really want Jenny Beyer's Moonglow quilt, but I have to learn so much before I begin & also need to save $ for the fabric. So many wish quilts, so little time. Do you ever have that feeling?
