    May I ask what your ideas are for quilting it? I've kinda been stumped with how to best quilt samplers. Do you treat each block individually, or do you do an all over design? I'm working on a sampler that has 22 blocks, two of eleven different blocks, so was wondering how you get your inspiration. :?:

    Again, awesome job!!
    Thanks for the kind words. I think it is the fabrics that give the quilt a warm fuzzy feeling. You can never go wrong with Kansas Troubles.

    I wish I had some great ideas for the quilting. I am going to tackle each block individually and find inspiration in some of the books I have purchased with quilt patterns in them. I am not good at free motion quilting at all, so I do know that my borders will be a grid of some kind. I will post again when I have it finished---but don't be holding your breath, because it is not going to be any time real soon! :)

    Oh My Marcia

    It's stunning then I knew it would be - love all the framing & borders you've added to. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh KT fabris you just can't beat them.
    I have my fabric to do mine too may have a go over the next few weeks if I can get motivated.

    What about echo quilting in some of your blocks? I'm still working on some of My pioneer blocks and that's what I am considering doing.
