Monday design floor.....

Gay released the last set of the 1857 Sampler blocks on Saturday. It has been a 18 month journey that I have tried to follow along with. I believe 68 blocks were released in total but I am stopping my journey at 36 and adding the border. It should produce a 72x72 quilt if my calculations are correct.

It looks like I have one block needing peels and 13 border blocks to go before I can sew this one together into a top.


It sounds like she has a summer sew along starting that is piecing and then another appliqué one planned for January. Head on over to sentimental stitches.net to find out about them.

    Ohmygosh--this one is so lovely...I love that border that you're adding...
    I am starting my applique journey slowly with one big piece...maybe someday I can attempt a quilt like yours...hugs, Julierose
