There is no video this week. Too many plates in the air. I did manage to sew a few things. I fixed my granddaughters dress, made a barbie sundress. Yesterday, I put together one of my oldest UFOs. The sampler quilt from 2003 or was it 2000. I really don’t remember. I took the tape label off the dusty tub. I still have to add a border. I am happy with it now. My problem with these blocks was the fact that it is a sampler quilt. I don’t care for them. In 2000 something, I was try to expand my quilting pallet. Trying new to me blocks. Some came out nice, others not so much.
The day flew by today and I wanted to sew something. At 8 pm I took out some orphan blocks. Red, White & Blue blocks. The four stars were rejected blocks that I had pieced very badly (circa 1990’s). There was no 1/4 inch seam on the points to sash them. Oh well, I added the sashing today and all the points are cut off. I call that a design decision! Ha Ha! It just felt good to sew. The other orphan is one that I love. I made several for someone for some reason and I don’t have a clue who. Old lady walking here! Oi!

It’s fun to see what you’re working on! The sampler is sure bright and happy, isn’t it? Must feel good to get such a big project out of the To Do pile!

My goodness, you’ve been busy! I love that you’re working on multi-generational dresses (grand-daughter and Barbie).
In my 40+ years of quilting, I have never made a sampler. I like them when I see them, and I’m one who tries all kinds of different things. But I am coming across classics every day that I have never tried. Maybe one day.
Thanks for sharing.

What a good, productive way to use up those orphan blocks! I love your design decision. 😛
