I made the quilt top and then it sat and sat in the quilting queue as there were other quilts that needed to be finished. Earlier this year I looked at the queue and there was ONLY this quilt. It was so much fun following along with Leah Day's Craftsy class where she recommends block by block quilting designs for this sampler.
The backing fabric was selected years ago and I'm quite pleased how it blends.
In summary, I love this quilt. It represents my introduction into quilting and gave me confidence to take risks in my quilting journey. But wait! No quilt tops in the quilting queue is a problem! I'd better get to work on some new projects!
Happy Friday to all!
Your soft colors are very calming! Great job on the quilting also! I did Amy's class too, and it was a great joy to complete her blocks! Yours are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE QUILTS IN YOUR QUEUE!!!!! LOL i love the calm feeling of this quilt....and I learned free motion quilting with the exact same Craftsy class :) Great job
ReplyDeleteThe quilting is beautiful. I bet it feels great to finally have that one finished!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is quite attractive, and the quilting lovely. At least you finished it.I started the BOMs at Craftsy for the last three years and was just a spectator. Claire aka knitnkwilt.wordpress.com
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty quilt and fun photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And so is your photography!
ReplyDeletethis turned out to be a stunning quilt. I have never made a "sampler" type of quilt--I do love your color choices--so, it took a long time--but you stuck with it and learned a lot on the way, I'll bet. beautiful work...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteWhat a great finish - it must feel great to have it done! My oldest is 2010 but it is now second in the queue and has to be done in 2 weeks for a show! Love the scrappiness of this quilt.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on such a beautiful quilt finish. It actually makes me want to make another sampler type quilt so that I can play with the quilting. And congrats on catching up with your quilting queue.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic, Kathy! The quilting really makes it shine. Looking forward to seeing whatever fabulousness you make next :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy sewing ~ Tracy
