Red Sampler Quilt Along - The Big Finish!!
Hello and welcome to the
BIG FINISH
of the Red Sampler Quilt Along!
I'm excited to show you my finished quilt:)
My friend and quilter Juli
got it finished for me in record time
so that I could
snap a few photos for you:)
Thank you sew much Juli!!
I have loved having my blocks
on the design wall in my sewing room
for the last 4 months
and I have loved sewing with you!!!
After arranging and re-arranging...
I decided that this was the order
that I wanted to sew my blocks
together ...
according to the instructions in my
Farm Girl Vintage 2 book of course!
I also decided that I really
wanted the red in my blocks to shine...
and so I chose to use a
red for just the inner border
and a background for the outer border.
Here's a photo of my
labeled fabric after I
chose everything for the finish:)
The two reds are from my
Flea Market collection and the
outer border is from my Bee Backgrounds.
I chose the red clover from my
Bee Backgrounds for the backing...
it's the same print that I used
to join my label blocks together.
And after it was all comleted...
I think that using a background
for the border worked just how I wanted!!!
I'm completely thrilled
with how it turned out...
and I love each and every block:)
Now of course going with a red fabric
for the border would work as well...
but I have made several
red and white quilts that I have
done that with and I wanted to
do something different for this one:)
The weather was beautiful last night
so I took these photos in my backyard.
I love how the red pops against
my aqua shed and you can also
see my red barn up top as well!
And as usual...
Toby had to wander into the shot
lol
Next up is my sew along
using my latest fabric collection called
STITCH
The quilt is called
"My Happy Place"
and I'll also be using my new set of
Sew Simple Shapes to make it!

that is needed for the quilt
