Finished Blueberry Patch Sampler


I am so flipping pleased to announce I am done with my sampler! Quilting it was a chore and I was reminded of why I love the large throat on my Juki....I appreciated every square inch of that space as I turned the quilt around and around.  
  

I did fairly loose quilting in the ditch so the quilt came out lovely and pillowy from the dryer. 


I made a mathematically bad decision to quilt my borders this way, but I don't want to talk about it.... its done.


Here he is!


Have I ever mentioned how difficult it is to photograph quilts in the South Dakota 'breeze'?



This happens alot.....


Sometimes this happens a few times....


I just wait...


.... and consider a shot like this 'good enough'

I decided to take the 'Plums' quilt which I was going to leave alone, and I'm going to use it in a Herringbone Quilt Along my online group is going to start next month.  The great part is I already have all of the HSTs sewn so I'm ahead!


And thanks to some sort of  three year old WIP miracle I picked up my Postage Stamp. I'm still in patchwork and I have to sew eight more strip sets.  I'll keep you updated :)

  2. It's so fantastic!! I love everything about it - your blocks look gorgeous - love the colors! And set all together they look fantastic. And I'm so impressed with the quilting too. I really need to get more courageous on that front. Thanks so much for playing a long!!

  3. I love how yours came out! I love the colors, kind of reminds me of the Strawberry Shortcake Blueberry Muffin doll I had growing up. :)
