. . . sampler . . .

. . . our little quilt group met monthly in 2008 . . .

. . . we taught/learned a different block at each meeting . . .

. . . the goal was to have a finished project 

by the end of the year . . .

. . . a drive-by show was held 

to display our handiwork . . .

. . . sadly, my quilt was not in any shape 

to be viewed at that time . . .

. . . i have since rectified that situation . . .

. . . the nine blocks have names 

and the patterns are free . . .

left to right/top to bottom: 

rail fence, no name block #2, log cabin

friendship scrap, tippecanoe & tyler too, borrow & lend

churn dash, woven ribbons, teresa's pinwheel

. . . each block was framed . . .

. . . then came sashings and cornerstones . . .

. . . another frame . . .

. . . and a border of scrappy squares . . .

. . . one final border and polka dot cornerstones . . .

. . . expert machine quilting . . .

. . . a scrappy binding . . .

. . . and now it looks pretty awesome 

in my living room . . .

. . . finally . . .
