With the colder winter nights we have been having, Miss B pulled out my scrappy sampler quilt to use on her bed. I have had it rolled up in a basket since I finished it, and had forgotten how much I loved it, and how much I love seeing it being used.
This encouraged me to pull out the blocks I had made for her sea glass sampler quilt, and start piecing some of them together and making low volume improv filler blocks for it. I don't think this quilt will be as large as the one she has been using, it will probably be more of a lap quilt size, but she can put it over her legs when she is studying at her desk in her room. She has asked that I add some more feather and arrow blocks to the assortment already made, so I may add a little more purple to some of those. I suspect I may create a few more new blocks too, so no doubt my planned lap quilt will end up being bigger than anticipated. Colour inspiration for this quilt can be found here.

ReplyDeleteYour work is so beautiful! I remember you making this quilt and it is lovely that it is being loved and used!
ReplyDeleteOh ~ I am happy to see those sea glass blocks again!! The sampler quilt is fabulous. It was apparently before my time here, as I don't recall seeing it before. I'll have to go look at that link :-)
ReplyDeleteWell - apparently I HAVE Seen it before, because I commented that I loved it! Silly me! Well, I still love it, and I'm glad that it is being enjoyed :-)

Adore both of these quilts! The finished one is stunning and the new one will be too!!
ReplyDeleteYour sampler quilt is gorgeous! I like the blocks you've made so far for the new quilt. Your linky party is a great idea...hopefully I will remember to join in next time!
ReplyDeleteI think my jaw literally dropped! I can't even believe how gorgeous this quilt is! You are so very talented. I knit and crochet and have done just a little bit of sewing. I've had a desire to learn how to quilt, but I haven't the time in this particular season of my life to add another hobby. This is just amazing!
