    I love your innovative idea to create sampler blocks. It's a beautiful quilt, someone will be lucky to receive it.

    My intent was really just to show the backing fabric, another from the same line by Denyse Schmidt as the orange. The tag says, "Love, Piece and Joy Quilters of First Baptist Church of Florence made this quilt especially for you." We put that tag on all of our donation quilts.

    The colors don't show true in this photo. The reds are real cranberries, and the orange is much more orangey than it looks. There's a little cranberry center in the leaves on the orange print, too. They work together!

    Great choice to make a sampler quilt. I have copied a page from pintrest showing lots of different patterns in hst's. Your choice is the perfect way to choose favorites.

    What a great looking quilt! I would have never expected cranberry and orange to go together, except in bread or relish (!), but the colors work very well together.

    Very pretty.
    Last year I gave five quilts for the Chemo patience to use. The office staff ended up with them. Flobotist told me she took one because it matched the colors in her camper.
    So much for that.

    That is surely the same one I used! Are they black and white, all 16-patches? So helpful!
