WOW....this quilt took my breath away!!!!!!!!

I love how you used the little squares!! I like that your sampler blocks are various sizes, and not lined up in a row!!! I copied this for inspiration, as I was just getting ready to start my first sampler. Your hand quilting is amazing too...

You deserve a LOT of ribbons!! What a lovely way to remember Mom.

Kristi, what a beautiful quilt! Absolutely gorgeous!!!

I love the way the sampler blocks have the white backgroud, which makes them stand out, and the squares tie the emtire quilt together...stunning!!

Beautiful hand quilting! Did you quilt each little square???

Thank you for sharing!
Joanne

Thanks for all the nice comments - I didn't quilt every little square, just did the loopy circle in sets of 4 then skipped on in between each set of 4 that was quilted. This was my second hand quilted quilt and it took me almost a year to do it. The class met once a month for 9 months and did a section each time. Sometimes there were two blocks in a section and sometimes as many as four depending on the size. It is actually put together in sections but you can't tell it with all the quilting. Thanks again for the kind words. It was therapy for me after losing my mother. Seemed fitting to dedicate it to her. Thanks again, Kristi
