This Sampler quilt was added in with my customers group of tops that she brings me once a year, sometimes more. Anyways she included this quilt and said one wasn’t hers and she was sure that I knew which one it was.
The quilt belongs to her niece and was pieced by her Grandma. It’s a beautiful example of talent and some blocks that take advanced skill.
This type of quilt was popular when I first began quilting almost 40 years ago. They were a great way to learn different skills without making a whole quilt with the same block.
I chose the pantograph Here and There for the quilting design. Some of the blocks had a little fullness that this type of design helps to flatten without causing puckers.
It also could have been a candidate for custom quilting however it won’t be a show quilt it will become a cherished gift from a grandma.
This quilt was trimmed and ready for binding and returning to my customers niece.
You can see a glimpse of the quilt on my Longarm that I was working on when suddenly the lighting from my window was cooperating for a photo shoot!
