This is a quilt I’ve been trying to make for – brace yourselves – around 10 years.
It’s a sampler from a beginner’s quilt book I bought when a woman named Martha Brown, who I worked with years ago, inspired me to want to learn to quilt. I went out and bought all the supplies and the fabric I needed for the sampler along with a beginner’s book. It was very relaxing once I started piecing together patches to make blocks.
This block was the most difficult for me. I think it was something about the way the instructions were worded.
Here are more pictures. Some show the backs of the blocks as well.


It’s all done by hand. I’ll post more as I make more progress, but I’m sure it won’t be too soon.
