I finally finished my Sampler quilt!!

Post by Granma2five » Sat Mar 22, 2008 12:51 pm

Hello everyone,

Well, it only took 17 months, 12 of which I was collecting the sampler blocks one by one through the Moda U class I was attending at my LQS. After this class was over, I still had to do the alternating blocks, two borders and all the finishing. It was a late Christmas gift to my Sister in Alaska. I mailed it last week, it must've gone on angels wings as I had the wrong zip code on it!! Now, my instructor wants it back in time for our 2nd Annual Quilt Show in July. Maybe I can whip up something else by then.

Many of you have encouraged me along this journey, so I just want to be sure to say "thanks so much" again.

Blessings,

Karla

Karla,

It is stunning. You did a fabulous job. I have yet to do a BOM quilt or anything similar but have one on my list. I doubt your sister will want to give it up:)
